The Phillies recalled Kennedy from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
After the Phillies acquired him from the Tigers on June 7, Kennedy was optioned to Lehigh Valley, with whom he produced a .961 OPS over 254 plate appearances before getting a call-up Monday. He'll provide the Phillies with an extra right-handed bat off the bench while Weston Wilson (personal) is away from the team while on paternity leave.
