Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Filling in for resting Bohm
Sosa will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Sosa picked up starts in four of the Phillies' first five games of the season, but he shifted back into a utility role after Trea Turner overcame a back issue. Alec Bohm will get a breather Sunday, opening the door for Sosa to re-enter the starting nine after being out of the lineup for the previous three contests.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Productive as replacement
Sosa went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Saturday's 11-6 win over Washington.
Sosa entered the lineup to bat ninth and fill in at shortstop for the injured Trea Turner (back) on Saturday, and he was one of six Phillies to register a multi-hit game. The severity of Turner's issue is unknown, but Sosa could be in line to handle extra at-bats for however long the former remains out of action.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Could get look in CF
The Phillies will give Sosa reps in left field and possibly center field this spring, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Sosa played three innings in left field in 2022 and saw two innings of action in center field in 2023, which is the extent of his outfield experience in the majors. If Sosa -- who will turn 29 in March -- looks comfortable in center field, it would give the Phillies another right-handed hitting option there in addition to Johan Rojas.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Signs new deal with Philadelphia
Sosa agreed on a one-year, $3 million contract with the Phillies on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Sosa will get a $1.3 million raise in 2025 after batting .257 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 39 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 249 at-bats in 90 regular-season games with Philadelphia last season. The 28-year-old can play in both the infield and outfield and will likely operate as a utility option for the team in 2025.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Taking seat in Game 4
Sosa is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Mets, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Sosa often starts against left-handed pitching, as he did in Game 3 versus southpaw Sean Manaea. However, the Phillies are going with Bryson Stott at second base Wednesday versus lefty Jose Quintana.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Gets opportunity to start in Game 2
Sosa is batting eighth and starting at third base against the Mets in Game 2 of the NLDS on Sunday.
Sosa didn't play in Game 1 of the series Saturday, but he'll move into the lineup for Game 2 while Alec Bohm begins on the bench. Per Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Phillies manager Rob Thomson referred to Sosa's energy in explaining the decision to make the switch. During the regular season, Sosa slashed .257/.313/.422 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 39 runs and seven stolen bases over 272 plate appearances.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Returns from injured list
The Phillies reinstated Sosa (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The 28-year-old has been sidelined since Sept. 6 due to back spasms, and he'll rejoin the Phillies on Tuesday after a brief stay on the shelf. Alec Bohm (hand) also returned from the injured list over the weekend, so Sosa should reclaim his role as a utility infielder.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Starting assignment Saturday
Sosa (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Back spasms have kept Sosa on the injured list since Sunday, though he has already been cleared to participate in minor-league games. Assuming everything goes smoothly in Triple-A, it seems the 28-year-old has a good chance of returning to Philadelphia once eligible Tuesday.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Lands on injured list
The Phillies placed Sosa on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to back spasms.
The 28-year-old had seen an uptick in playing time after Alec Bohm (hand) landed on the IL, but Sosa is now dealing with his own injury. It's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined, but Sosa will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 17.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Retreating to bench Wednesday
Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Sosa entered the starting lineup in each of the previous four games while Alec Bohm (hand) was on the bench, going 3-for-12 with a home run, a double, two walks, three runs and three RBI. Though Bohm remains out of the lineup Wednesday, the Phillies will give Kody Clemens a look at third base while Sosa hits the bench. Bohm is considered day-to-day and is expected to avoid a stint on the injured list, so Sosa could be headed back to a utility role before long.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Steps up in win
Sosa went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a walk in Saturday's 3-0 win over Atlanta.
Sosa had gone 0-for-11 over the last six games before a big effort Saturday. He opened the scoring with his solo shot in the third inning and tacked on Philadelphia's last run in the seventh. The infielder has been a reliable depth option this year with a .269/.320/.448 slash line, seven homers, 29 RBI, 32 runs scored, 11 doubles, four triples and seven stolen bases over 241 plate appearances. Sosa has a short-term path to playing time while Alec Bohm sits with left hand soreness, but the former is likely to be limited to a short-side platoon role when the Phillies are at full health.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Homers late in win
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, three RBI and a steal in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.
Sosa singled home two runs in the sixth and later added some more insurance with a solo home run in the ninth inning. The RBI were his first since July 12 and it was just his second multi-hit game since June 27. Sosa got some run as a starter when Trea Turner was injured earlier in the year, but Sosa's primarily operated as a bench bat. The 28-year-old is slashing .274/.329/.458 with six homers, 25 RBI, 29 runs, six steals and a 10:50 BB:K in 207 plate appearances this season.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Filling in for resting Turner
Sosa will start at shortstop and will bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Sosa will pick up just his fourth start since the All-Star break while he checks in for Trea Turner, who is getting rest for the day game after playing all 12 innings in the Phillies' 7-6 loss Tuesday night. While the Phillies have all their key position players at full strength, Sosa will continue to handle a utility role and won't benefit from consistent playing time.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Back in action Tuesday
Sosa (elbow) will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's game in Detroit.
Sosa had to depart a game over the weekend after being hit in the left elbow by a pitch, but he's ready to roll now. He and his teammates will be tasked in trying to solve Tarik Skubal on Tuesday.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Suffers left elbow bruise
Sosa was diagnosed with a left elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch in the fifth inning of Saturday's 12-1 win over the Diamondbacks, Brooke Destra of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Though X-rays have cleared Sosa of a serious injury, he should be considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale. He went 0-for-1 with a run scored prior to exiting.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Hitting bench in Turner's return
Sosa is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.
After Trea Turner was placed on the 10-day injured list May 4, Sosa took over as the Phillies' primary shortstop and slashed an impressive .275/.336/.505 with four home runs, three stolen bases, 22 runs and 17 RBI in 32 games while the two-time All-Star was sidelined. Turner will make his return from the IL on Monday and will immediately step back into his everyday role at shortstop, leaving Sosa without a regular spot in the lineup. Manager Rob Thomson said earlier this month that Sosa could get some reps in the outfield upon Turner's return, but David Dahl, Brandon Marsh and Nick Castellanos will form the Phillies' outfield trio from left to right Monday. With no path to steady playing time at the moment, Sosa looks to be a drop candidate outside of deeper mixed leagues or NL-only leagues.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Homers in loss
Sosa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-2 loss to the Orioles on Saturday.
Sosa gave the Phillies an early 2-0 lead when he homered off Grayson Rodriguez in the second inning. Sosa hit .306 in May with three home runs, but he has gone just 8-for-37 with one long ball in June. According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Trea Turner's return from a hamstring injury is nearing, which means Sosa will likely return to a bench role in the coming days.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Receiving rest day
Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Sosa will get a breather after he went 4-for-20 with three RBI and two runs while starting each of the Phillies' last six games at shortstop. Bryson Stott will move over from the keystone to cover shortstop in Sosa's stead, opening up second base for Whit Merrifield.
