Los Angeles, CA -- (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired future Hall-of-Fame pitcher Greg Maddux on Tuesday from the San Diego Padres.

The Dodgers, who entered the day's action in a first-place tie with Arizona in the National League West, will also receive cash considerations, while the Padres acquired two minor leaguers to be named later or cash considerations.

Maddux, who experienced a career-long 14-start winless streak earlier this season, pitched for the Dodgers at the tail end of the 2006 campaign after being acquired from the Chicago Cubs. He signed with San Diego prior to the following season after going 6-3 with a 3.30 earned-run average in his stint with LA.

"It's very rare that you get the opportunity to add a pitcher like Greg even one time, let alone twice," said Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti. "He's one of the greatest pitchers of all time and we've already seen what he can add to a team both on the field and in the clubhouse."

This year, the 42-year-old right-hander is 6-9 with a 3.99 ERA, but has given up just four runs over 19 total innings in his past three starts.

For his career, Maddux has a record of 353-222 with an ERA of 3.14. His win total is ninth all-time, one behind Roger Clemens, while his strikeout total (3,353) ranks 10th in ML history.

The four-time Cy Young winner will fill the rotation spot of Brad Penny, who was put on the disabled list last week with right shoulder inflammation.
