Scott Kingery DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Los Angeles Angels have designated infielder Scott Kingery for assignment. This transaction opened a spot on the roster for left-handed pitcher Angel Perdomo, who they acquired from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for cash considerations. Kingery was competing for a role in the middle infield but will instead begin his season in the minor leagues unless he is claimed on waivers. The 30-year-old has spent his entire MLB career with the Philadelphia Phillies. Across 325 MLB games, Kingery has posted a .229/.280/.387 slash line with 30 home runs and 25 stolen bases. He enjoyed his best campaign in 2019 when he posted a .258/.315/.474 line across 126 games. Fantasy managers should expect Kingery to return to the majors later in the summer when the Angels need additional depth in their infield. However, he will not carry any fantasy value.

Infielder Scott Kingery agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, avoiding salary arbitration, according to a source. Kingery was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies on Nov. 1 and will head to spring training in February with the Angels hoping to win an Opening Day roster spot as infield depth with Zach Neto (shoulder) questionable to be ready for the start of the year after undergoing shoulder surgery. The 30-year-old former second-round pick of the Phillies in 2015 out of the University of Arizona will be a long shot to return any fantasy value in 2025, especially with the Angels. He didn't play at all in the big leagues in 2024 and was active for only 16 combined games in Philly in 2021 and 2022.

The Philadelphia Phillies have traded infielder Scott Kingery to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for cash considerations according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. The 30-year-old has not appeared in a major league game since 2022 and has spent the past two seasons playing with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Last season in the top level of the minor leagues, the former second-round pick held a .268/.314/.488 line with 17 doubles, 25 home runs, 67 RBI, and 25 stolen bases. Kingery will likely compete for a spot on the Opening Day Roster in Los Angeles but will more than likely spend most of the 2025 season in the minor leagues.
