Kennedy signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy elected free agency after clearing waivers Tuesday, but he will immediately reunite with the club and report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 26-year-old turned in an .835 OPS across 464 plate appearances in the minors last season and should get regular playing time at Lehigh Valley while serving as organizational depth.

Kennedy cleared waivers Tuesday and elected free agency, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy was designated for assignment Thursday after failing to make the Phillies out of spring training, and he will now seek out an opportunity with another organization rather than heading to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 26-year-old owns a .608 OPS across 149 plate appearances in his big-league career, but he should be able to at least attract a minor-league deal after slashing .274/.375/.460 in Triple-A last year.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy did not make the Opening Day roster, but the club has received trade interest in the 26-year-old and will attempt to swing a deal. If a trade doesn't come to fruition, Kennedy will be designated for assignment, as he is out of minor-league options.

Kennedy was recalled from the Phillies' spring training complex Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

He is not in Sunday's lineup against the Nationals, but Kennedy will serve as a capable righty bench bat with Austin Hays (back) banged up. Kennedy, who turns 26 next week, has played sparingly in the majors and slashed .294/.400/.500 with 10 home runs in 300 plate appearances for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

After the Phillies acquired him from the Tigers on June 7, Kennedy was optioned to Lehigh Valley, with whom he produced a .961 OPS over 254 plate appearances before getting a call-up Monday. He'll provide the Phillies with an extra right-handed bat off the bench while Weston Wilson (personal) is away from the team while on paternity leave.

The Phillies acquired Kennedy from the Tigers on Friday in exchange for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Instead, he's headed to Lehigh Valley, where he will give the Phillies some infield depth. Kennedy has slashed .205/.294/.316 in 46 games over parts of three seasons in the majors.
