Kody Clemens has been told he will make the team. The Phils will try to trade Buddy Kennedy in the next few days. If they can’t trade him before rosters are set Thursday, he will be DFA’d.

Fantasy Impact:

Clemens’ .857 OPS and 2 home runs this spring nab him the final Phillies bench spot over Buddy Kennedy Monday, set for pinch-hitting and multi-position backup duties. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his versatility for spot value in Philadelphia’s 2025 lineup if he gets occasional at-bats or fill-in starts.
