Scott Kingery's Three Hits Not Enough In Blowout Defeat
7 years agoWith J.P. Crawford on the sidelines with a broken hand, Scott Kingery has taken over every day starting shortstop duties for the Philadelphia Phillies. While he’s struggled defensively, June has been his best hitting month of the season, but lately, he’s been even better. Following three hits (including a home run), an RBI and two runs scored in Friday’s loss to the Washington Nationals, the 24-year-old is hitting .327 across his last 15 games, scoring seven runs during the span. A utility player, Kingery is one of the leading figures of Philadelphia’s youth movement, and with multiple positions of eligibility, he could develop into a major waiver wire option as we enter July.

Scott Kingery Agrees To One-Year Deal With Angels
5 months agoInfielder Scott Kingery agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, avoiding salary arbitration, according to a source. Kingery was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies on Nov. 1 and will head to spring training in February with the Angels hoping to win an Opening Day roster spot as infield depth with Zach Neto (shoulder) questionable to be ready for the start of the year after undergoing shoulder surgery. The 30-year-old former second-round pick of the Phillies in 2015 out of the University of Arizona will be a long shot to return any fantasy value in 2025, especially with the Angels. He didn't play at all in the big leagues in 2024 and was active for only 16 combined games in Philly in 2021 and 2022.

Scott Kingery Traded To Los Angeles
5 months agoThe Philadelphia Phillies have traded infielder Scott Kingery to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for cash considerations according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. The 30-year-old has not appeared in a major league game since 2022 and has spent the past two seasons playing with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Last season in the top level of the minor leagues, the former second-round pick held a .268/.314/.488 line with 17 doubles, 25 home runs, 67 RBI, and 25 stolen bases. Kingery will likely compete for a spot on the Opening Day Roster in Los Angeles but will more than likely spend most of the 2025 season in the minor leagues.
