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.

Rotowire
Houston (undisclosed) is listed on Triple-A Toledo's Opening Day roster, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
While he was rehabbing at High-A West Michigan in 2021, Houston didn't make any appearances after July 29 due to an apparent injury, but he's apparently back to full health for the start of the 2022 minor-league season. Houston will return to the Triple-A level for the first time since 2019, when he gave up 20 earned runs over 18 innings for Toledo.
