| 6/21/25 | Otto Kemp to left field? Why the Philadelphia Phillies will try such a bold move. Otto Kemp has played his way into an everyday spot in the Phillies lineup, enough to try him out at a position he's only played seven games at in his professional baseball career – left field. The Phillies appear set to put Kemp in the outfield for Sunday's finale against the Mets, just their second look at a left-handed starter since Kemp was called up to the majors two weeks ago. The roster has changed significantly since then, with Buddy Kennedy joining the big club this week after Weston Wilson was optioned down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. With Wilson in Lehigh Valley, that leaves a right-handed bat available off the bench in the outfield. Source: https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/otto-kem... |
