PHOENIX \u2014 The Arizona Diamondbacks signed veteran first baseman\/outfielder Seth Brown to a minor league contract on Friday.<\/p>\n

Brown will join the Triple-A Reno Aces<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old, left-handed hitter has spent the past decade in the Athletics\u2019 organization, playing 568 major league games. The A\u2019s placed Brown on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 13 with left elbow lateral epicondylitis, and he was released<\/a> on June 25.<\/p>\n

Brown hit 45 home runs for Oakland from 2021-22, during which time he hit slashed .224\/.294\/.457. His production has taken a dip since then with a .667 OPS over the past three seasons. He has extreme platoon splits with a career .512 OPS against lefties compared to a .742 OPS against right-handed pitchers.<\/p>\n

He crushed the ball in a short Triple-A stint this year, hitting .500 (21-for-42) with seven home runs and 13 RBIs in only nine games played.<\/p>\n

Brown joins the organization after the Aces lost fellow veteran first baseman Trey Mancini,<\/a> who opted out of his minor league contract earlier this week.<\/p>\n

If he ends up on the D-backs\u2019 active roster to end the season, he is arbitration eligible for another year before hitting free agency in 2027.<\/p>\n

The Diamondbacks have left-handed hitters Pavin Smith and Josh Naylor splitting time at first base, so Brown provides some organizational depth.<\/p>\n
