Veteran infielder comes back to Arizona

The D-backs agreed to terms with arbitration-eligible Augie Ojeda on a one-year contract. The 34-year-old batted .246 with three home runs and 16 RBIs in 103 games with Arizona in his diamondbacks jersey last season. He also established career highs in at-bats, runs scored, hits, doubles, triples and walks. The versatile infielder also appeared in 35 games at second base, 34 games at shortstop and 28 games at third. He hasn't committed an error in his last 115 games, which is the longest active streak among second baseman.

The eight-year veteran has also played with the Cubs and Twins and has a career .238 batting average with seven home runs and 129 runs scored in 443 games.
