Buddy Kennedy has cleared waivers and elected free agency rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A after being DFA'd by Philadelphia multiple times this season.
Kennedy's initial decision to elect free agency after being designated for assignment led him to re-sign with the Phillies under a new minor league contract.
Clemens has had the better showing in recent weeks with spring stats of .308/.357/.500, compared to Kennedy's .162, showcasing his advantage in performance leading up to the decision.
