The team finally did what had to be done, freeing up a 40-man roster spot by outfighting Scott Kingery.
Phillies have outrighted Scott Kingery to AAA. He cleared waivers and is off 40 man roster.

If there are any Kingery defenders out there, know this: this had to be done. The team is going to be in dogfight for a playoff spot this summer and they’ll need to make some moves to add to the roster. They also have some players that are coming back and will need roster spots as well, players that the team clearly thinks can help them more than Kingery.
