The one-time top prospect is 9-for-18 to start the season in Triple-A with one home run, five runs scored, and three RBI. He could fill a utility role for the Angels should any opening come available in the next few weeks or months.

Kingery went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The 30-year-old former top prospect hasn’t appeared in the big leagues since the 2022 campaign.

Kingery’s removal from Los Angeles’ 40-man roster extinguishes any hope of making the club’s season-opening roster. The 30-year-old was acquired from the Phillies last November and has batted .138 (4-for-29) this spring in Cactus League action.

No word yet on the financial terms of the agreement. The 30-year-old former top prospect was acquired from the Phillies in early November in exchange for cash considerations. His versatility should allow him to secure a bench spot on the Halos’ Opening Day roster as long as he doesn’t completely fall on his face during Cactus League play.
