The Royals traded Misner to the Phillies on Saturday in exchange for cash.
After being DFA'd by the Royals on Wednesday, Misner will reclaim a 40-man roster spot with the Phillies and report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 28-year-old outfielder has slashed just .220/.256/.244 across 44 plate appearances in the majors this season but boasts a .941 OPS through 63 games at Triple-A. Steward Berroa was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
