Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Retreating to bench Wednesday
Edmundo Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.Sosa entered the starting lineup in each of the previous four games while Alec Bohm (hand) was on the bench, going 3-for-12 with a home run, a double, two walks, three runs and three RBI. Though Bohm remains out of the lineup Wednesday, the Philadelphia Phillies will give Kody Clemens a look at third base while Sosa hits the bench.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Steps up in win
Edmundo Sosa went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a walk in Saturday's 3-0 win over Atlanta.Sosa had gone 0-for-11 over the last six games before a big effort Saturday. He opened the scoring with his solo shot in the third inning and tacked on Philadelphia's last run in the seventh. The infielder has been a reliable depth option this year with a .269/.320/.448 slash line, seven homers, 29 RBI, 32 runs scored, 11 doubles, four triples and seven stolen bases over 241 plate appearances. Sosa has a short-term path to playing time while Alec Bohm sits with left hand soreness, but the former is likely to be limited to a short-side platoon role when the Philadelphia Phillies are at full health.
