Phillies' Zac Houston: Traded to Phillies

The Rays traded Houston to the Phillies on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays' pitching staff at Triple-A Durham was growing a bit overcrowded, so Houston will join the Phillies organization. Houston split last season between the Yankees' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates, logging a 4.43 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 42.2 total innings.
