The Philadelphia Phillies acquired left-handed reliever Mark Davis from the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday in exchange for a minor league pitcher.

The club did not disclose who would be moved to make room for Davis, a former Cy Young Award winner, on the 25-man roster.

The Phillies said they would share the cost of Davis’ $3.25-million contract for 1993 with the Braves and Kansas City Royals, his prior two clubs.

San Francisco Giant left fielder Barry Bonds was sidelined for Tuesday’s game with the Florida Marlins because of a strained right hamstring he suffered Monday while sprinting to first base to beat the throw on a grounder. The injury is not considered serious. . . . Reliever Rob Dibble won’t be available to the Cincinnati Reds for the rest of their series in Philadelphia because of a small perforation on his right ear drum. The club had speculated that an ear problem might be affecting Dibble’s balance. . . . Willie Randolph, former New York Yankee second baseman, was named the team’s assistant general manager.
