Kennedy elected free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy was designated for assignment Monday and subsequently cleared waivers. He'll be free to sign with any team and has logged 32 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Kennedy was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy will head to the waiver wire following the return of Enrique Hernandez (elbow) from the injured list. Kennedy was claimed by LA on Aug. 15 and went 1-for-17 with one RBI and one run scored over seven matchups, and he will presumably end up with Triple-A Oklahoma City if he fails to draw interest on waivers.

Kennedy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

After starting at third base in each of the last four games while going 1-for-13 at the dish, Kennedy will cede the hot corner to Alex Freeland for the series finale in Colorado. The right-handed-hitting Kennedy could occupy the short side of a platoon at third base with the switch-hitting Freeland until the Dodgers get one of their four injured infielders (Max Muncy, Hyeseong Kim, Tommy Edman and Enrique Hernandez) back from the shelf.

Kennedy was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Friday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy will head to the West Coast after being DFA'd by the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Rather than report to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Kennedy will be on the Dodger's 26-man roster after Max Muncy (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Kennedy has spent most of the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .268/.372/.408 with three steals, eight home runs and 45 RBI in 336 plate appearances. Kennedy will likely serve in a depth role in the infield while Alex Freeland and Miguel Rojas get most of the work at third base in Muncy's absence.

The Blue Jays designated Kennedy for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy was cut loose from the 40-man roster to make room for Andres Gimenez (ankle), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Kennedy was not getting much playing time in Toronto as he appeared in just six of the 11 games he was active for. Across 14 plate appearances, the 26-year-old went 1-for-12 in his short stint with the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays selected Kennedy's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since signing a minor-league deal with the Jays in mid-July, Kennedy has slashed just .207/.309/.259 with five RBI across 68 plate appearances. Despite his recent output, he'll join the major-league roster to provide Toronto with a glove capable of covering all three bases and left field. The 26-year-old will replace Ali Sanchez on the 26-man and 40-man rosters.

The Blue Jays signed Kennedy to a minor-league contract July 9.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy elected free agency after being booted from the Phillies' 40-man roster earlier this month and is now on the roster at Triple-A Buffalo. The infielder sports a career .193/.287/.296 batting line over parts of four big-league seasons.

Kennedy elected free agency Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies designated him for assignment, and rather than being outrighted to Triple-A, Kennedy elected to hit the open market. The righty-hitting Kennedy is better against lefties (career 73 wRC+) than righties (career 55 wRC+), and his lack of defensive utility has left him on the periphery of the Phillies, Tigers and Diamondbacks depth charts in recent years.

The Phillies designated Buddy Kennedy for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the active roster for Bryce Harper's (wrist) return from the 10-day injured list. Kennedy went hitless in seven at-bats for the Phillies and hadn't started a game in nearly a week.

The Phillies selected Kennedy's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy earned a promotion after slashing.283/.388/.447 with eight home runs and a 41:31 K:BB over 61 games with Lehigh Valley, although he has cooled off in June with a .185/.323/.259 batting line. The 26-year-old will serve as a reserve infielder.
