The son of a legendary MLB pitcher has seen his tenure with the Philadelphia Phillies likely come to an end.
Kody Clemens, the son of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Wednesday. The move was made to clear a roster spot for utility man Weston Wilson, who has been activated from the 10-day injured list after missing the start of the year with an oblique injury.
The 28-year-old Clemens has played in 97 total MLB games for the Phillies over the past three seasons. He batted .220 with 9 home runs and 31 RBI during that span.
Clemens appeared mostly as a pinch-hitter this season and did not have a hit in six plate appearances.
The Phillies acquired Clemens in a trade with the Detroit Tigers ahead of the 2023 season. Clemens has hit .197 in the majors during his career.
