The Rays traded Cardenas to the Phillies on Thursday in exchange for cash, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Cardenas has spent all season at Triple-A Durham, where he slashed .281/.346/.530 with 11 home runs and 28 RBI across 205 plate appearances. The 26-year-old outfielder will likely report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley upon joining the Phillies, and he could make his MLB debut later in the year if he continues to be productive at the plate.
