The underachieving New York Mets continued their roster purge Tuesday, sending outfielder Tommy Pham to the Arizona Diamondbacks, sources confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

It wasn't immediately known who New York was receiving in the deal, which was agreed to shortly before Tuesday's 6 p.m. ET trade deadline and first reported by SNY.

Pham is hitting .268 with 10 home runs and 36 RBIs this season and now joins an Arizona that's dropped out of the NL West lead but remains in the thick of the wild card race at 57-50.

A day earlier, Arizona fortified its bullpen by acquiring closer Paul Sewald from the Seattle Mariners. They also acquired infielder Jace Peterson from the Oakland Athletics.

Eppler followed Diaz's pitch count and tracked the outs remaining for Diaz, and when Diaz closed out a win for Puerto Rico, Eppler felt relief. He got up and walked into another room.
