Scott Kingery arrives at summer camp

A familiar face returned to Citizens Bank Park this morning for Day 9 of summer camp.

According to The Athletic’s Matt Gelb, Scott Kingery was cleared and joined the Phillies today ahead of today’s workout.

Scott Kingery was cleared and rejoined the Phillies today. He took part in batting practice. He won't play in the scrimmage this afternoon. Phillies will ease him back into things after he was sick with COVID-19.

Kingery has missed the first week of summer camp after testing positive for COVID-19 back in June.

The 26-year old had to test negative twice within a 24 hour time period before he could travel to Philadelphia from his home in Arizona.

Though the Phillies are holding an intrasquad game this afternoon, Kingery will not be seen taking reps at second base as the team will ease him back in, per Gelb.

Kingery hit .258/.315/.474/.788 with 102 hits, eight home runs and 35 RBIs in 126 games last year for the Phillies.
