Phillies 5, Pirates 1

Nick Maton - Sent to Triple-AMaton was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
ImpactMaton hit .256/.323/.385 in 52 games as a rookie last year and should be a serviceable utility infielder if the Phillies need to call on him at some point this season. He doesn't have a spot to fill right now, however, with the Phillies electing to have both Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm on their Opening Day roster.

Alec Bohm - Roster spot safeBohm will make the Phillies' Opening Day roster, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
ImpactBohm's roster spot appeared to be in some doubt thanks to his poor spring and the strong performance of the Phillies' top hitting prospect Bryson Stott. While Bohm's roster spot is secure for now, his playing time may not be, with Stott making the team as well. If the pair wind up platooning at third base, the right-handed Bohm would see less than half of the available starts, though it's likely Bohm still gets to start against some righties. He can spell Rhys Hoskins at first base on occasion, while Stott can start at either middle infield spot.

Bryson Stott - Wins roster spotStott will break camp on the big-league roster, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
ImpactStott was competing for time at shortstop this spring but also emerged as a potential option at third base. After posting a 1.261 OPS with more walks than strikeouts in Grapefruit League action, the Phillies seemingly had no choice but to call him up. His expected role isn't totally clear, as third baseman Alec Bohm has also made the team, leaving the Phillies with seemingly one too many infielders. He and Bohm could potentially platoon at third, with the left-handed Stott seeing the majority of the starts in that setup, though he could also start in either middle infield spot to give veterans Didi Gregorius and Jean Segura the occasional day off.
