The Phillies recalled Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
Clemens will provide an extra left-handed bat for the Philadelphia infield, but he won't enter the lineup Sunday against Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach, even with everyday third baseman Alec Bohm (hand) out of the lineup for the third game in a row. The Phillies will go with Edmundo Sosa at third base, but both he and Clemens are likely to serve as bench players for the foreseeable future, as Bohm worked out on the field Sunday and could be ready to return to the lineup following Monday's team off day. Over his previous two stints with the big club this season, Clemens hit .242 with three home runs, 10 RBI and eight runs over 65 plate appearances.
