The D-backs signed veteran infielder Luis Guillorme to a Major League deal on Tuesday. Infielder Blaze Alexander was optioned to Triple-A Reno and right-hander Gavin Hollowell was designated for assignment in corresponding moves.
Guillorme has slashed .218/.285/.290 across 138 plate appearances split between the Braves and Angels this season. The 29-year-old appeared in 50 games for Los Angeles before being released on Sunday.
Guillorme has played second base, third base and shortstop during his career and will provide much-needed depth for the D-backs, who placed All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte on the 10-day injured list Monday with a sprained left ankle.
Prior to this season, Guillorme spent six years with the Mets and batted .261 with a .677 OPS.
