Can the Phillies’ Edmundo Sosa play his way into the infield picture?
- Sosa homered 442 feet and doubled to spark a late rally, showing he can impact the game when used as a multi-dimensional bat.
- Thomson weighed options in the eighth, choosing Sosa over Bohm and Kemp to maximize lefty-righty matchups.
- Bohm has struggled early, dealing with personal issues and a reduced role as the club searches for consistency.
- Sosa has been used mainly against lefties but showed value against right-handed pitching with two key hits.
- Thomson indicated he would keep an open door and consider Sosa if he continues to perform.
- Sosa’s notable latest showing came as the Phillies faced Cubs left-handed starter Caleb Thielbar.
- Bohm started Wednesday at third after Tuesday’s pinch-hit appearance and team discussion.
- The Phillies are balancing the lineup amid Bohm’s early-season OPS struggles and Stott’s similarly low OPS.
- Thomson highlighted an open-door policy and a focus on player development and confidence.
