Scott Kingery Staying Hot
6 years agoPhiladephia Phillies utilityman Scott Kingery has been swinging a hot bat with everyday playing time. He's hit .286 with four homers over the last two weeks in 49 at-bats. He is an intriguing add, as he was once a top prospect but faltered in his first season in 2018. With the Phillies loaded lineup and eligibility at third, shortstop, and outfield, he should be able to help a lot of fantasy lineups who need an upside bat and positional flexibility. He's hitting around seventh in the Phillies lineup but could get another shot near the top if Cesar Hernandez doesn't pick his play back up. If Kingery gets going on the basepaths he'll be jumping off the waiver soon so grab him before that happens.

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.
