Scott Kingery Stats

Philadelphia Phillies utility player Scott Kingery (shoulder) has undergone surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder and will miss the remainder of 2021, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. It was a rough year all around for Kingery, who was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley at the beginning of June after hitting 1-for-19 with a run scored over 15 games this season. He hadn't looked much better at Triple-A either, as he was slashing .181/.307/.292 with three steals, five RBI and 11 runs scored over 23 games. Hopefully he'll be able to come back from this surgery and compete for a spot on the Phillies roster out of Spring Training, as managers will hope for a return to Kingery's 2019 level of performance.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery cleared waivers and will join the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Kingery, who signed a $24 million contract in 2018 before playing a Major League game, was optioned off the 40-man roster to potentially clear room for Luke Williams, the 29th ranked prospect in the Phillies' organization. Kingery has been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball after signing the aforementioned contract when he was considered an elite prospect. He is 1-for-19 (.053) this season with 12 strikeouts. Last season he batted just .159 with a .511 OPS across 113 at-bats. Perhaps playing every day in the minors can help Kingery, that's the hope for the Phillies, at least. Fantasy managers don't need to roster Kingery in any format until he shows he can still hit in the minors.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery (concussion) has been activated off the concussion injured list and outrighted to Triple-A. He passed through waivers unclaimed and is now off the 40-man roster. It's unsurprising that Kingery went unclaimed since he has been horrendous with the bat this season. Kingery was given a $24 million extension before making his MLB debut. It's highly unlikely that he ever lives up to expectations. He can be avoided in all fantasy formats and it's uncertain if he'll even play on the Phillies again this season.
