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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
