Phillies remove Scott Kingery from 40-man roster

The Phillies announced Monday that Scott Kingery (concussion) was reinstated from the injured list. Kingery was also outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, meaning he cleared waivers and is no longer on the 40-man roster.

Outside of a strong first-half of 2019, Kingery has struggled mightily throughout his big-league career. Following a bout with COVID-19, Kingery slashed .159/.228/.283 in a disappointing 2020 campaigned shortened due to injuries. He came into spring training this season with a chance to win the starting job in center field, but it became evident that the former Phillies top prospect needed to spend time at the alternate site to make a few adjustments to his swing.
