A former Phillies prospect and minor-league journeyman will get his shot with the big-league club this spring, according to a recent report.
Kelly Dugan, a second-round pick in 2009 who played seven years in Philadelphia’s organization and has spent the past six years bouncing around independent leagues, will rejoin the team on a days-long minor-league contract, as noted in a feature story by Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The outfielder and first baseman will appear in one major-league spring training game on Thursday, and his tryout experience will be filmed as part of a documentary.
