Idle Wednesday Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Sosa will hit the bench Wednesday and give way to Bryson Stott at shortstop after he had started in the first two games of the series, going 2-for-7 with a double and a run. Despite his absence from the lineup, the 29-year-old Sosa still projects to draw the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Trea Turner (hamstring) is on the mend.

Slated to fill in for Turner Sosa will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, second baseman Bryson Stott could see some time at shortstop after Trea Turner was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain, but Sosa is the more likely candidate to serve as the primary option at the position in Turner's absence. Sosa had handled a utility role for most of the season, but he's acquitted himself well at the plate when called upon, slashing .273/.309/.426 with seven home runs, one steal, 33 RBI and 25 runs over 233 plate appearances. The Phillies remain optimistic that Turner will be able to return from the IL before the postseason, but Sosa could provide some short-term value in deeper leagues while handling a near-everyday role at shortstop.

Belts seventh homer in win Sosa went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact Sosa drew the start at second base versus left-hander Mitchell Parker, blasting his seventh homer of the year and his third of the month of August. The righty-hitting Sosa has a definitive short-side platoon role -- he sports a .917 OPS against lefties in 2025 -- though his .558 OPS against righties will likely continue to prevent him from seeing regular at-bats. Bryson Stott boasts a 1.049 OPS so far this month, which is also working against Sosa's ability to pick up more playing time at the keystone.

Filling utility role with Bohm back Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Sosa had started in seven of the Phillies' last eight games, but he's likely to see his playing time tail off while he shifts back into a utility role with Alec Bohm (rib) returning from the injured list Sunday. Expect most of the starts that the right-handed-hitting Sosa receives moving forward to come against left-handed pitching, though he'll be on the bench for the series finale against Washington lefty Mitchell Parker.

Cracks sixth homer Sosa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Rangers.

Impact Sosa manned the hot corner and slugged his second homer of the month in the fifth with a 403-foot solo shot off Texas southpaw Patrick Corbin. The 29-year-old infielder has filled in admirably while Alec Bohm (rib) has been on the injured list since July 19, batting .244 (11-for-45) with two homers, seven runs scored and six RBI over 16 contests. Sosa's stretch of solid playing time may be drawing to an end soon, as Bohm started a rehab assignment at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. Across 194 total plate appearances, Sosa is slashing .267/.304/.428 with 22 runs scored and 27 RBI.

Homers, scores thrice in rout Sosa went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and three runs scored in Monday's 13-3 win over the Orioles.

Impact Sosa singled and scored on a pair of Kyle Schwarber homers before adding his own 429-foot blast in the ninth inning. The 29-year-old has drawn eight starts and appeared in 11 games at second and third base since Alec Bohm (rib) landed on the injured list July 19, going 8-for-30 with two home runs, five RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base in that span. On the season, he's slashing .273/.313/.430 with five long balls, 26 RBI, 20 runs scored and one steal across 178 plate appearances.

Picking up fourth straight start Sosa will start at second base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Sosa will pick up his fourth straight start in the Philadelphia infield, with two starts coming against righties and two coming against lefties. He'll likely remain a staple in the lineup versus lefties as a platoon mate for the left-handed-hitting Bryson Stott at second base, but Sosa could still give way to Otto Kemp at third base more often than not when the Phillies face righties. Kemp and Sosa will both see their opportunities at the hot corner dry up once Alec Bohm (rib) is cleared to return from the injured list.
