Diamondbacks acquired 3B Chris Johnson from the Astros in exchange for OFs Bobby Borchering and Marc Krauss.
No word yet on what Houston will receive in the deal. The D'Backs have been looking for more production from third base all season, but Johnson probably isn't the answer. He's put up a .274/.314/.421 batting line over four seasons with the Astros and has hit only slightly better than that this season, batting .279/.329/.428 with eight homers over 341 at-bats. The 'Stros seem likely to recall Brett Wallace to take Johnson's spot on the roster.
