Phillies recall Darick Hall, demote Kody Clemens

The Philadelphia Phillies recalled infielder Darick Hall from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and inserted him into the lineup against the visiting Washington Nationals on Sunday.

Hall is batting eighth in the rubber match of the three-game series between the National League East rivals.

In a corresponding move, the Phillies sent infielder Kody Clemens to the IronPigs.

Hall, 27, made Philadelphia's Opening Day roster before sustaining a sprained right thumb early in the season. He underwent augmentation surgery on April 12.

Hall batted .222 (4-for-18) with one RBI in six games this season after hitting .250 with nine homers and 16 RBIs in 41 games in 2022.

Clemens, 27, is batting .230 with four homers and 13 RBIs in 47 games this season. After posting a .268 average through the first two months of the season, Clemens hit .194 (13-for-67) in June.

He is the son of former major-league pitcher Roger Clemens.
