PHOENIX—The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired right-handed reliever Saul Rivera from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for cash considerations.
Rivera was 2-0 with four saves and a 0.53 ERA during 15 relief appearances for Triple-A Columbus. He was signed by the Indians to a minor league contract on Dec. 21.
Rivera has played part of 13 seasons professionally, including four seasons with the Washington Nationals from 2006-09.
The Diamondbacks on Monday also released right-hander Bob Howry. The 36-year-old Howry went 1-0 with a 10.67 ERA in 14 relief appearances for Arizona this season.
Arizona has by far the worst bullpen statistically in the major leagues.
