Overview
- The trade was announced Saturday, July 25, 2026, when the Phillies said they acquired Kameron Misner from the Kansas City Royals for cash considerations and immediately optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
- To open a 40-man roster spot the Phillies designated outfielder Steward Berroa for assignment, removing him from the roster while the club decides whether to trade, release, or outright him.
- Misner was a 2019 early-round pick (35th overall) who reached the majors in 2024 and has moved through multiple organizations, most recently joining the Royals in November 2025.
- His major-league production has been limited through 2026, with a career .206 batting average and .571 OPS, five career home runs (all in 2025), and a 2026 line of .220/.256/.244 in 18 games.
- This is a depth-focused, low-cost roster move that keeps Misner under team control in Triple-A while the Phillies evaluate him for a possible future call-up and manage roster flexibility.
