2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kennedy earned a small handful of MLB plate appearances for the third straight season, and again did very little with them, going 2-for-10 for the Tigers and 2-for-11 after being designated for assignment and dealt to the Phillies. He hit a respectable .272/.376/.458 (good for a 119 wRC+) at the Triple-A level between the two organizations, but he's at best fighting for a bench role with the Phillies this spring. Philadelphia could potentially use a short-side platoon partner for Max Kepler in left field, but Kennedy has limited experience in the outfield, so he's probably an underdog in that fight.

Booted from 40-man roster
The Phillies designated Kennedy for assignment Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Phillies told Kennedy earlier this week that he would not be on the Opening Day roster and the club was unable to find a trade partner. He could draw interest on waivers.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The best skill Kennedy has shown during his time in the minors has been his ability to draw a walk, as he drew free passes at a 16.4 percent rate in 2023 at the Triple-A level and boasts a 12.6 percent walk rate over six seasons on the farm. He did club 22 home runs and stole 16 bases between the High- and Double-A levels in 2021, but both of those numbers look like clear outliers in his career. Kennedy did very little in spot duty with the Diamondbacks the last two seasons and then jumped to the Oakland and St. Louis organizations via waivers. The 25-year-old is part of a crowded competition for a reserve infielder role but seems likely to report to Triple-A Memphis to begin the 2024 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not to be overshadowed
Kennedy was sent to the minors Friday but on the heels of a stellar spring training. Kennedy slashed .424/.525/.606 in 40 plate appearances.
ANALYSIS
Much of the attention throughout Arizona's spring training has gone to young phenom Corbin Carroll, but Kennedy did his fair share of booming. Kennedy posted a less inspiring .217/.287./.325 slash across 94 plate appearances last season, but the 24-year-old is likely to factor into the Diamondbacks' plans sooner rather than later. It's a surprisingly crowded infield depth chart in Arizona, however, so his exact usage remains to be determined.
