• Angels' Scott Kingery: Traded to Halos

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  The Angels acquired Kingery from the Phillies on Friday in exchange for cash considerations. Kingery, 30, has spent each of the last two seasons at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, most recently hitting .268/.316/.488 with 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases there in 2024. The former top prospect hasn't received an extended look in the majors since 2019, but perhaps he'll get another shot in his new organization.

• Phillies' Scott Kingery: Plays off bench Friday and Saturday

  03/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Kingery (illness) went 0-for-3 with a run scored and a strikeout while seeing action at shortstop and second base in Grapefruit League games Friday and Saturday. Kingery hadn't played in any spring games for about a week due to an illness before returning to action Friday. Though he's seemingly healthy again, Kingery is likely to be reassigned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley before camp comes to a close.

• Phillies' Scott Kingery: Out with illness Sunday

  03/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Kingery was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta due to an illness, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Kingery had been slated to start at shortstop and bat eighth, but he became the latest victim of the bug that has been making its way around the Phillies clubhouse. Though Kingery is attending big-league camp as a non-roster invitee, he's considered a longshot to make the Phillies' Opening Day roster and is likely to begin the season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

• Phillies' Scott Kingery: Team declines option

  11/03/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Phillies declined Kingery's $13 million club option for 2024 on Friday. Kingery hasn't registered a major-league plate appearance since 2021, so the decision to pass on his option was fairly predictable. However, rather than becoming a free agent, Kingery's contract will revert back to the minor-league deal he signed in 2015, and he will remain within the Phillies' farm system. The 29-year-old infielder slashed .244/.325/.399 with Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2023.

• Phillies' Scott Kingery: Misses out on Opening Day roster

  03/27/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Phillies reassigned Kingery to minor-league camp Monday. After being outrighted off the Phillies' 40-man roster last June and finishing with a modest .718 OPS in 95 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Kingery surprisingly re-emerged as a serious contender for an Opening Day bench role for Philadelphia this spring. Over 53 plate appearances in Grapefruit League play, Kingery slashed .340/.415/.447 with a home run and two stolen bases while showing glimpses of the player Philadelphia hoped he would become after signing him to a six-year, $24 million contract in March 2018. Kingery is entering the final season of that deal and could end up resurfacing with the big club at some point in 2023, but because he's not on the 40-man roster, he'll first have to continue his hot hitting ways at Lehigh Valley before mounting momentum for a call-up.
