Kody Clemens
Kody Clemens has done everything the Phillies have asked of him this season. He has made two trips to Philadelphia, with the second stint cut short by a back ailment that landed him on the injured list for close to a month. He got into seven more games after the Phillies activated him from the 10-day IL, but once Bryce Harper came back from his own injury, Clemens found himself without a roster spot.
In his 65 MLB plate appearances this season spread over 24 games, Clemens slashed .242/.277/.500 with three home runs and 10 RBI, including a massive game against the Toronto Blue Jays early in May. He played all over the field as well, logging time at first, second and third base. He even made a couple of appearances in left field.

Aside from what he has done in a Phillies uniform this season, his Triple-A numbers warrant another call-up. He's slashing .269/.317/.471 with 10 home runs, 40 RBI and four stolen bases in 58 games.
Clemens is currently playing like he knows there's another call-up on the line. The 28-year-old has been absolutely mashing Triple-A pitching in August, batting .373/.403/.542 with four doubles and a pair of home runs in 15 games. That's the kind of hot bat the Phillies could use in their lineup right now.
