Prior to opening a series at American Family Field in Milwaukee Tuesday evening, the Philadelphia Phillies announced a series of roster moves that will include former top prospect Scott Kingery returning to the major league level.
The Phillies have selected the contract of Kingery, meaning the 28-year-old is back on the 40-man roster. As part of his six-year/$24 million deal, Kingery is making $6 million in 2022 regardless of what level he plays at. But he had previously be outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after clearing waivers last June.
2021 turned into a lost season for Kingery, as he underwent season-ending right shoulder surgery in mid-July to repair a torn labrum.
