2 years agoMany teams are checking in on free-agent infielder
Johan Camargo, who is currently playing in the Dominican Republic for Las Aguilas. Camargo was believed to have signed a minor-league deal with the Minnesota Twins last week, but that didn't end up happening and he's still available. The 28-year-old is looking for a roster spot on a major-league roster or will take an opportunity in Asia. The switch-hitting utility man played in 52 games for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2022, hitting .237/.297/.316 with three home runs, 15 RBI and eight runs scored in 166 plate appearances. If he returns to the MLB next year, he'll most likely serve as a bench bat with limited offensive upside in fantasy. Camargo has a career .255/.313/.410 slash line with a .723 OPS in 416 games over six seasons.

3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies infielder
Johan Camargo (knee) is set to begin a rehab assignment on Friday. He was diagnosed with a right knee strain around a week and a half ago. There's a chance that Camargo is ready to roster to the Phillies roster in a few days. He hasn't done a ton at the plate this season, but is a solid option off the bench. He'll likely take away playing time from
Alec Bohm when he returns.

3 years agoThe Philadelphia Phillies signed infielder
Johan Camargo to a one-year, $1.4 million deal on Wednesday night before MLB entered a lockout on Thursday. The deal includes $100,000 in incentives. Camargo became a free agent when the Atlanta Braves didn't tender him a contract for 2022. Right-hander
Adonis Medina was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster space for Camargo. The 27-year-old switch-hitter will be a solid bench option for the Phillies after he hit .326/.401/.557 in 104 games at Triple-A in 2021. In just 15 games for Atlanta last season, Camargo didn't have a single hit while walking twice and striking out six times in 18 plate appearances. In five big-leagues seasons for the Braves, Camargo has a .257/.315/.423 slash line with 34 home runs, 144 RBI and 141 runs scored in 364 games.
