PHOENIX (AP) — Reliever Aaron Heilman has been acquired by the Arizona Diamondbacks from the Chicago Cubs for two minor league prospects.

The 31-year-old left-hander was 4-4 with a 4.11 ERA in 70 appearances last season, striking out 65 and walking 34. He spent six seasons with the New York Mets before he was traded to Seattle last December, then dealt to the Cubs a month later.

Chicago gets 24-year-old left-hander Scott Maine and 23-year-old infielder Ryne White. Maine was a combined 4-5 with seven saves and a 2.90 ERA with Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno last season. White hit .266 with 58 RBIs for Class A Visalia.
