The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded Howie Kendrick to the Philadelphia Phillies for Darin Ruf and Darnell Sweeney.
Sweeney is a former Dodgers' prospect.
Kendrick was unhappy with his irregular playing time with Dodgers this season and had asked to be traded, according to sources.
He has one year remaining on a two-year, $20-million contract that will pay him $10 million in 2017.
