28-Year-Old Third Baseman3B
Philadelphia Phillies
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Clemens hit .145/.197/.308 for the struggling Tigers as a 26-year-old rookie in 2022, so it was something of a surprise that the defending National League champions elected to acquire him in January. He didn't make the Phillies' Opening Day roster but was called up just a week into the season after Darick Hall suffered a thumb injury. Clemens spent the bulk of the first half on the large side of a platoon at first base, but his .230/.277/.367 slash line and 73 wRC+ better suited a backup catcher than a regular at a corner position. Unsurprisingly, he found himself optioned in early July and never returned to the majors. Clemens' .256/.373/.564 slash line with 18 homers in 62 Triple-A games indicates he has little left to prove in the minors, but a strong Triple-A showing from a 27-year-old shouldn't be taken to mean that a big-league breakout is on the horizon. Clemens has shown poor plate discipline in 106 career MLB games, combining a 26.5 K% with a 5.8 BB%, and he hasn't made much quality contact, posting a 5.9% barrel rate. Read Past Outlooks

Clemens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Clemens had started nine of the Phillies' last 10 games, going 7-for-34 (.206 average) with a home run, three doubles, six RBI and five runs. His starting opportunities will likely be few and far between moving forward, however, as Alec Bohm (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday and will slot back in as the Phillies' everyday third baseman.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Known for his famous father, seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, Kody Clemens can now say he made it to the majors as well after debuting in 2022. The younger Clemens appeared in 57 games for the Tigers and proceeded to slash .145/.197/.308 with five homes runs and 17 RBI. He was better at the Triple-A level, as he posted an .862 OPS for Toledo with 13 long balls across 60 games. Clemens also played well at Triple-A in 2021, so he doesn't have much more to prove in the minors, but the question now is whether he can consistently hit MLB pitching. A third-round pick in 2018, Clemens will turn 27 during the 2023 season, so we should have some answers to that question soon. He was traded to the Phillies by the Tigers in January, and his move to a contender clouds his path to have everyday role, though Bryson Stott certainly has yet to establish himself as a clear starter at second base. Clemens can also play at first and third base, as well as in the outfield, so a utility role may be in his future. He is mostly off the fantasy radar for now, but he could see his outlook improve during the season, though he made need an infield injury to see much of an opportunity.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Regular role in left field on tap?
3BPhiladelphia Phillies
June 21, 2024
Clemens could see regular action in left field once he returns from his back injury, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old is set to begin a rehab assignment soon, which shouldn't be too lengthy since he's been on the injured list only since early June. Brandon Marsh is seeing more action in center field after Johan Rojas was demoted to the minors, and Clemens could have the chance to carve out a spot in the large side of a left-field platoon. David Dahl is currently filling that role but has a .182/.206/.424 slash line in 34 plate appearances.
