Diamondbacks signed INF Tommy Manzella to a minor league contract.
The deal does not include an invitation to spring training. The 30-year-old shortstop hasn't appeared in the big leagues since he was a member of the Astros in 2010. He'll serve as nothing more than organizational depth for the D'Backs.

Manzella was released by the Blue Jays recently after hitting .265/.320/.338 with five doubles and 10 RBI in 75 plate appearances in Double-A. The 30-year-old will function as organizational depth.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Brewers have signed infielder Tommy Manzella to a minor league contract.
Manzella will provide some extra depth at the shortstop position now that Alex Gonzalez (knee) is done for the season. The 29-year-old hit just .225 with a .531 OPS in 83 games with the Astros in 2010 and spent all of last season in the minors. We're not expecting much.

Diamondbacks claimed INF Tommy Manzella off waivers from the Astros.
Manzella was designated for assignment by the Astros on Wednesday. The 28-year-old is hitting .230/.319/.360 over 417 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season and batted just .225 with a .531 OPS over 282 plate appearances with the Astros last season. He's no great shakes, but gives the D-Backs some organizational depth at the shortstop position in wake of Stephen Drew's ankle injury.
