The Toronto Blue Jays have traded infielder Ty Kelly to the Philadelphia Phillies for cash considerations.

Kelly was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Friday to clear a roster spot for right-hander Mat Latos.

The placed pitcher Clay Bucholz on the 60-day DL to make room for Kelly on the roster.

Kelly, a 28-year-old utilityman, was with the Blue Jays for three games, but did not make an appearance after being called up from Buffalo on Tuesday. The Blue Jays claimed Kelly off waivers from the New York Mets on April 10 before optioning him to Buffalo.
