Oswaldo Arcia is changing locations once again.

The 25-year-old outfielder, who appeared in games for four different big-league clubs in 2016, has agreed to a deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, reports Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.

Arcia's deal is a minor-league deal, according to Nick Piecoro of AZ Central Sports.

The left-handed hitting Arcia - whose OPS is .165 higher against righties - will join an outfield mix including A.J. Pollock, David Peralta, Yasmany Tomas, and Jeremy Hazelbaker in Arizona.

Arcia hit 20 home runs with the Minnesota Twins in 2014. He split 69 games of action between the Twins, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, and the San Diego Padres last season, hitting .203/.270/.366 in the process.

Over the course of four big-league seasons, the Venezuelan owns a .235/.298/.422 slash line, which has included 44 home runs and 131 RBIs.
