Short of 40-man roster spots to protect prospects ahead of next month's winter meeting draft, the New York Yankees traded right-hander Nick Nelson to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday along with minor league catcher Donny Sands.

New York received minor league infielder T.J. Rumfield and left-hander Joel Valdez from the Phillies.

The Miami Marlins acquired right-hander Louis Head from the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday for either a player to be named later or cash.

Head made 27 appearances for the Rays this past season, two of them starts. He was 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA in 35 innings, striking out 32, allowing 21 hits and walking nine.

The Cincinnati Reds have traded Tucker Barnhart to the Detroit Tigers.

Cincinnati will receive infield prospect Nick Quintana in the deal.

The play of rookie Tyler Stephenson, who split time behind the plate last season, made Barnhart -- and his contract -- expendable. Barnhart had a $7.5 million salary option for 2022.
