On February 11, 2019, Ellis re-joined the Padres organization in the front office role of special assistant to the baseball operations department.

2018

On February 14, 2018, Ellis signed a minor league deal with the San Diego Padres. Ellis's contract was purchased by the Padres on March 28, 2018, and he was assigned to the Opening Day roster. Ellis posted a .272/.378/.344/.722 batting line with one home run and 15 RBI over 66 games, in what would be his final major league season.

2016

Ellis hit only .194 in 53 games with the Dodgers in 2016, with his playing time declining after Kershaw was placed on the disabled list at midseason.

Ellis was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies on August 25, 2016 (along with Tommy Bergjans and a player to be named later, who later turned out to be Joey Curletta) for Carlos Ruiz and cash. He played in 11 games for the Phillies, hitting .313 with 1 HR and 9 RBI. He elected free agency after the season.
