Twins Acquire Kody Clemens from Phillies, Place Luke Keaschall on IL

The Minnesota Twins have acquired utility infielder Kody Clemens from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for cash considerations, following Clemens being designated for assignment by Philadelphia. To make room for Clemens on the roster, the Twins placed top prospect Luke Keaschall on the injured list after he sustained a non-displaced forearm fracture from a hit-by-pitch. Clemens, the son of former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens, struggled to secure playing time with the Phillies and went hitless in six at-bats this season. Over his MLB career, Clemens has played 153 games with a .197 batting average, 14 home runs, and 48 RBIs, offering versatility across both infield and outfield positions. The move addresses Minnesota's need for depth amid a string of injuries affecting key players. Clemens is expected to provide immediate utility and potentially benefit from increased opportunities with the Twins.
