The Phillies traded in January for Clemens, who's currently in his second MLB season. In 47 games this year, Clemens has hit .230 with four home runs. Clemens has primarily played first base in Philadelphia but has played throughout the infield and outfield during his career and occasionally pitches.

However, the Phillies optioned Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday to promote Darick Hall to the majors.

Clemens is the son of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens. All four of Roger's sons have names that start with "K" — the letter that designates a strikeout in baseball scorekeeping.
