The Philadelphia Phillies had an unusual day off Friday after opening their series against the Minnesota Twins at MLB’s Field of Dreams event, where they secured a 7-1 victory.
Because both teams were participating in the special event, they were permitted to carry an additional “27th man” on their active roster for the game. The Phillies used that opportunity to recall three-year veteran Kamerson Misner for Thursday’s matchup.
However, Misner’s return to the major-league roster was brief. Philadelphia optioned him back to the minors on Friday, making the corresponding move that had been widely expected.
Phillies Option Kameron Misner After Field of Dreams Game
Following their win at Field of Dreams on Thursday evening, Kameron Misner has been optioned to AAA Lehigh Valley. His transaction tracker reflects the move:
“Philadelphia Phillies optioned CF Kameron Misner to Lehigh Valley IronPigs.”
CBSSports.com’s RotoWire staff news desk wrote (about Misner’s recall):Â
“The Phillies will be allowed to carry an extra man on their roster during the Field of Dreams game, and they’ll use the opportunity to add to their outfield depth. Misner has slashed just .220/.256/.244 across 44 plate appearances in the majors this season but boasts a .900 OPS through 321 plate appearances in the minors. He’ll likely return to Triple-A following Thursday’s contest.”
Misner was traded from the Kansas City Royals to the Phillies in late July for cash, and he’s yet to appear in a game for Philadelphia. However, he has played in parts of three seasons with the Kansas City Royals and Tampa Bay Rays.
Inside Kameron Misner’s MLB Career
Kameron Misner has played a total of 97 games across his 3-year MLB career.
In 253 at-bats, he’s batting .203 with 10 doubles and five home runs. His lifetime OPS is .571.
Over 18 games played with the Royals in 2026, Misner batted .220 with four RBI and 9 hits.
The only way for him to actually see real playing time with the Phillies this season is if someone in the current outfield fold gets injured.
