The Diamondbacks have found a good bridge for while they wait for AJ Pollock to get back.
Arizona announced Wednesday, it has acquired outfielder Jon Jay from the Royals for two minor-league pitchers.
#Dbacks acquire OF Jon Jay from the Royals in exchange for LHP Gabe Speier and RHP Elvis Luciano.
Jay is batting .307 with a home run and 18 RBIs this season. With Pollock out for at least a while longer, as he was slotted to miss four to eight weeks in the middle of May, Jay will provide a solid glove and good on-base percentage bat in his stead.
