The Phillies acquired utilityman Russell Branyan from Cleveland for cash Thursday.

Branyan joins his sixth team since making his major league debut with the Indians in 1998. The 31-year-old, left-handed hitter began this season with San Diego, and hit .197 with seven homers and 19 RBIs in 61 games.
