Clifton Kennedy: Breaking News

Sent out to MiLB camp

The Giants reassigned Kennedy to minor-league camp Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Kennedy had been attending big-league camp as a non-roster invitee and ultimately fell short in his fight for a utility role with the Giants. The 27-year-old is expected to report to Triple-A Sacramento to begin the season. Kennedy saw 13 games of big-league action in 2025, slashing .069/.156/.103 across stops with the Phillies, Dodgers and Blue Jays.

Inks minors deal with Giants

The Giants signed Kennedy to a minor-league contract Dec. 15. Kennedy spent a little time in the majors with three different teams in 2025, going just 2-for-29 at the plate. The 27-year-old will likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Sacramento, where he'll give the Giants some experienced infield depth.

Becomes free agent

Kennedy elected free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. Kennedy was designated for assignment Monday and subsequently cleared waivers. He'll be free to sign with any team and has logged 32 plate appearances in the majors this season.
