Kody Clemens, the youngest son of seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens, has been called up to the majors by the Detroit Tigers, it was announced Monday.
Clemens, a 26-year-old left-back who plays on and off the field, was added to the roster in time for Monday’s game against the Minnesota Twins.
He reportedly received the call while Triple-A Toledo was traveling by bus to Columbus for Monday night’s game. Clemens got off the bus and headed for Detroit.
Clemens, a third-round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, batted .283 with eight homers and 31 RBIs with the Mud Hens this season.
He was added to the roster during the 2021 season, but has yet to see action in a major league game.
To make room, the Tigers placed gardener Robbie Grossman on the injured list with a sprained neck.
