Impact Kemp chipped a piece of bone on his knee cap when he fouled a ball off the area on June 17, but he missed only one game and then played though the injury for the remainder of the season. He also evidently played with a shoulder issue, though it's unclear when he first injured the shoulder. Kemp slashed .234/.298/.411 with eight homers and two steals over 62 games in the majors in 2025 and posted a .987 OPS with 16 home runs and 13 stolen bases at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Gelb writes that the Phillies are "bullish" on Kemp and view him as "more than" a bench player. It's not clear when Kemp's knee and shoulder surgeries will occur, nor is known how long his rehab will take.
