Phillies' Alec Bohm: Out of lineup for Game 2
Rotowire
Bohm is not starting for the Phillies in the second game of the NLDS versus the Mets.
Bohm went 0-for-4 in Game 1 of the series Saturday after finishing the regular season in a 2-for-27 slump. The Phillies are opting to start Edmundo Sosa at third base Sunday against Mets right-hander Luis Severino.
Bohm is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Bohm appears to be receiving a routine day off after he had started each of the Phillies' last seven games following his return from the 10-day injured list Sept. 15. Kody Clemens will fill in for Bohm at third base Wednesday.
Bohm went 4-for-5 with a homer, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 12-2 victory over the Mets.
The Philadelphia third baseman had struggled since returning from a hand injury Sept. 15, hitting just .133 (2-for-15) with a solo homer over four games, but broke out with this monster display. Bohm slugged his 15th homer of the season in the fourth inning with a 383-foot, three-run blast off Adam Ottavino. The 28-year-old also collected his third four-hit performance of the season, but his since June 24 at Detroit. Bohm now sports a .290/.343/.467 slash line with 94 RBI and 62 runs scored across 578 plate appearances this season.
Bohm went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Brewers.
Bohm had the Phillies' lone run with a solo shot in the second inning off Freddy Peralta. Bohm has gone 2-for-11 with two strikeouts over three games since he returned from a hand injury that cost him a couple of weeks. The third baseman is up to 14 homers, 90 RBI, 60 runs scored, five stolen bases, 44 doubles and a .288/.341/.461 slash line through 134 contests this season.
Bohm is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Bohm started the first two games for the Phillies after being activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, but he'll receive some rest Tuesday. Edmundo Sosa -- who is fresh off the IL himself -- will cover third base for Philadelphia in Bohm's stead.
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Reinstated off IL, starting Sunday
Rotowire
The Phillies reinstated Bohm (hand) from the 10-day injured list. He'll start at third base and bat fifth Sunday against the Mets.
Bohm injured his left hand in late August and was placed on the 10-day IL on Sept. 3. He made one rehab appearance on Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, when he went 2-for-4 with one double. The Phillies evidently saw enough from Bohm on Saturday to bring him back with the big club, and he'll immediately reclaim his spot in the infield rather than being eased back in as the designated hitter.
