Kody Clemens makes most of opportunity with Twins
The Twins traded for Kody Clemens in late April after he was designated for assignment by the Philadelphia Phillies.
Sometimes, father does knows best.
Just a couple of weeks ago, speaking at Fenway Park days after the Twins swung a trade for his son, Kody Clemens, MLB great Roger Clemens predicted his son would be just fine ā he just needed a few more at-bats.
āItās tough what heās doing right now. He had two wonderful spring trainings and then he got kind of stymied a little bit in Philly. Itās going to take him a few more at-bats to get comfortable,ā Roger Clemens said. āI think itās going to take him a little time to work his way back, but heās capable of doing it.ā
And the Twins are seeing that now.
A day after his dadās comments, Kody Clemens hit a home run at his dadās old stomping grounds that helped propel the Twins to what would become the first win of their 13-game winning streak, which finally came to an end Sunday. He has settled in well since then.
āMy whole big league career to this point has been pinch-hitting, sporadic starts after sitting for a while,ā Clemens said. āIāve never really gotten the opportunity to play every day or at least multiple times during the week. Itās been nice to try to get in a rhythm and see a lot of pitches and get a lot of consistent at-bats.ā
Clemens, who was not in the starting lineup on Monday with a lefty on the mound, has made the most of his opportunity, entering the day hitting .297 with a 1.003 OPS. He has three home runs in 15 games as a Twin. Over the weekend, he went 3 for 5 in a win over the Brewers.
āI try to keep it as simple as possible,ā he said. āI look in a general area of where I want the ball to be and stay as disciplined as I can and just try to put the best swing on these pitches. I feel like Iām just seeing the ball well and getting good pitches to hit.ā
His contributions havenāt stopped there, as he has moved around the field for the Twins. Clemens has primarily played second base ā the Twins swung a trade for him the night Luke Keaschall was hit by a pitch, fracturing his forearm ā but he has also appeared at first base and in left and right field.
āWe knew that he was a very capable at-bat and could impact the baseball and hit some line drives all around the field and hit āem hard. We knew he was a versatile player,ā manager Rocco Baldelli said. āWe also didnāt know what our roster was going to look like, what our needs were going to be. But heās just ready to play. He just is excited to play. He wants to be out there on the field.ā
Wallner nears rehabInjured outfielder Matt Wallner expects to head out on a rehab assignment this week, possibly as soon as Wednesday, as he works towards a return.
Wallner landed on the injured list with a hamstring strain on April 17, but he has been running full speed and reported feeling good.
The outfielder said he doesnāt know much of his schedule ā āI bug the trainers enough,ā he said ā but a rehab assignment obviously represents a big step in the right direction.
āI think itās progressed faster than I thought, so Iām in a good spot,ā Wallner said.
BrieflyChris Paddack is scheduled to start on Tuesday against Cleveland right-hander Gavin Williams. That game could be threatened by a weather forecast in Minneapolis that calls for rain all day.
