Kody Clemens - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Headed for role reduction Clemens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact Clemens had started nine of the Phillies' last 10 games, going 7-for-34 (.206 average) with a home run, three doubles, six RBI and five runs. His starting opportunities will likely be few and far between moving forward, however, as Alec Bohm (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday and will slot back in as the Phillies' everyday third baseman.
