Kody Clemens Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Twins utility man Kody Clemens remained hot at the dish in Thursday night's 8-6 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Royals at Target Field, going 2-for-4 with two solo home runs out of the three-hole in the batting order. The strong effort at the plate raised his season batting average to .236 and his OPS to .771. Both of the 30-year-old's homers came off Royals veteran starter Seth Lugo, and this was the second multi-homer game of his career. The son of former All-Star hurler Roger Clemens is now hitting .236/.311/.460 with a .771 OPS, eight home runs, 20 RBI, 23 runs scored, and five stolen bases across his 174 at-bats in his first full season with the Twins. In his last 11 games since May 24, Clemens has gone 11-for-44 (.250) with four home runs, a double, two triples, eight RBI, and seven runs scored. There isn't much of a fantasy ceiling to be had here, but Clemens has been swinging the bat well of late and is eligible at first, second, and the outfield in Yahoo leagues, where he is rostered in 4% of leagues.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Kody Clemens and outfielder Trevor Larnach are taking a seat on Thursday for their team's series finale with the visiting Texas Rangers. With a matinee the day after a night game, it's just a normal day off for them. Teammate Royce Lewis will be the DH and bat fifth, with Willi Castro manning right field (sixth), and Brooks Lee occupying the keystone (seventh). Neither player has really stood out with their bat this season, though it's worth noting that Clemens' underlying metrics are at least intriguing. Despite a .221 average in 2025, the 29-year-old has significantly improved his quality of contact and is vastly underperforming his xBA (.288) and xSLG (.576).

Minnesota Twins infielder Kody Clemens was the hero for the Twins in their 6-5 win over the division-rival Cleveland Guardians to finish off a suspended game from the series opener on Monday. Clemens hit a two-out, walk-off RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning at Target Field in a rain-soaked game. The 29-year-old came off the bench in this one as a pinch-hitter but finished 2-for-3 while also hitting an RBI triple in the fourth inning that broke a tie. The Twins have now won 10 straight home games and 14 of 15 overall during their torrid stretch of baseball after a slow start in 2025. It's their first 10-game home winning streak since moving to Target Field in 2010. Clemens entered Wednesday's action with a .256/.347/.535 slash line with an .882 OPS, three homers, eight RBI and seven runs in 43 at-bats as a utility player for the Twins.

According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, the Philadelphia Phillies could seek a trade partner for infielder Kody Clemens. According to Gelb, the Phillies have several infield left-handed bats which could make it difficult for Clemens to make the roster. Gelb further noted that if Clemens has a successful camp he could be put on the trade block. This means that Weston Wilson and Buddy Kennedy would have a more favorable chance to break the Opening Day roster. Last summer, Clemens held a .219/.258/.447 line with five home runs and nine doubles across 44 games. The 28-year-old holds a career .200/.246/.373 line across three major league seasons. Even if Clemens does make the Opening Day roster, he should not be on your fantasy radar given his lack of stable success in the majors.

The Philadelphia Phillies reinstated infielder Kody Clemens (back) from the 10-day injured list and also recalled outfielder Johan Rojas from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday with both first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) and outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) going on the 10-day IL. Clemens will make the start at first base and bat sixth, while Rojas is in center field and hitting ninth for the Phillies on Friday versus the visiting Miami Marlins and right-hander Kyle Tyler, who is making just his second major-league start. Clemens, who is returning from a bout with back spasms, should start regularly for the Phils at first against right-handed pitchers for however long Harper is out, driving up his value in NL-only leagues. Rojas should also see more action with Schwarber on the IL after going 13-for-34 with Lehigh Valley after his demotion.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Brandon Marsh (hamstring) and infielder Kody Clemens (back) on the 10-day injured list on Monday and recalled outfielders Weston Wilson and David Dahl from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in corresponding moves. Marsh strained his right hamstring in Sunday's loss to the St. Louis Cardinals and was removed in the eighth inning. Clemens was scratched from Sunday's lineup with back spasms and was replaced in the lineup by utility man Whit Merrifield. Both players will now miss at least the next 10 days of action as they heal up. Dahl is starting in left field and will bat seventh on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Both he and Merrifield will battle for playing time in Philly's outfield with Marsh out. UPDATE: Marsh and Clemens have "very mild" injuries, according to manager Rob Thomson.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Kody Clemens will hit ninth and play first base in a rare start Wednesday versus the Marlins and right-hander Edward Cabrera. It's just the third start and appearance on the season for Klemens as the Phillies look to get as many left-handed bats into the starting lineup as possible against Cabrera. An off-season trade acquisition from the Tigers, Clemens is hitless in eight trips to the plate this season but does have a walk to his credit in that time. He has scuffled to a .137 average with five homers, one stolen base, and a .368 OPS across 59 big-league games between the Tigers and Phillies.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that infielder Kody Clemens will be the team's first baseman against right-handed pitchers with Darick Hall (thumb) unlikely to return until later this season due to a torn ligament in his thumb that requires surgery. Third baseman Alec Bohm could slide over to first base against left-handed pitchers, but Thomson said Bohm is "our third baseman." Edmundo Sosa and Josh Harrison could man the hot corner on days that Bohm shifts to first base. Clemens got the start at first on Friday against right-hander Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds and hit eighth in the batting order. The 26-year-old hit just .145 with five homers and 17 RBI in 56 games in his first MLB season last year with the Detroit Tigers. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much, but the uptick in playing time makes him worth a flier in deep-mixed and NL-only leagues.

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired closer Gregory Soto and infielder Kody Clemens from the Detroit Tigers on Saturday in exchange for infielder Nick Maton, outfielder Matt Vierling and catcher Donny Sands. The 27-year-old Soto had a career-high 30 saves for the Tigers in 2022, but his fantasy stock is likely to fall with the move to Philadelphia and their closer-by-committee situation that also includes Craig Kimbrel, Seranthony Dominguez and Jose Alvarado. If the left-handed Soto can't limit his walks (12.9% BB rate last year), he could regress in 2023. Clemens, the son of Roger Clemens, made his major-league debut in 2022 and hit .145 with five homers, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored in 56 games. He'll give the Phillies flexibility on the infield as a bench bat.

The Detroit Tigers optioned infielder Kody Clemens to Triple-A on Saturday. Clemens has yet to make his Major League debut but hit .247 with a .312 on-base percentage in 414 plate appearances for Triple-A Toledo last season. Primarily a second baseman, the 25-year-old also made starts at first base and in right field last season. He figures to provide the Tigers with some additional infield depth in 2022. In 13 plate appearances in Grapefruit League play this spring, Clemens hit .250 with a .308 on-base percentage and a home run.
