The Philadelphia Phillies traded infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday in exchange for cash considerations.

Kingery, 30, appeared in 325 games for the Phillies from 2018-22 but spent the past two seasons at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He batted .268 with 25 homers, 67 RBIs and 25 steals in 125 games with the IronPigs in 2024.

A second-round draft pick by Philadelphia in 2015, Kingery is a career .229 hitter with 30 home runs, 96 RBIs and 25 stolen bases in the majors.

Defensively, Kingery has made more than 30 starts at four different positions: shortstop, third base, second base and center field.
