Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Filling in for resting Turner
Rotowire
Sosa will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Sosa will pick up his first start in a week, stepping into a spot in the middle infield in place of a resting Trea Turner. The 30-year-old has seen most of his opportunities against left-handed pitching this season, but he'll draw a rare start against a righty (Hunter Dobbins) in the series opener in St. Louis.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Drives in five in win
Rotowire
Sosa went 2-for-5 with home run, a double, five RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 14-9 win over the Nationals.
Sosa got an unexpected start when Kyle Schwarber (back) was a late scratch, and he matched a career high with five RBI in a back-and-forth affair. Despite playing sparingly in June, the 30-year-old has gone 11-for-36 with two homers, eight RBI and six runs scored across 12 games. For the year, he's slashing .238/.274/.413 with five home runs, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored and two steals across 45 plate appearances and has recently been getting some time in the outfield with Adolis Garcia (lat) done for the season.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Heading back to bench
Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Sosa will hit the bench after he made starts in each of the last four games -- two in left field, one at third base and one at shortstop -- while going 6-for-12 with a solo home run and three additional runs. Though the Phillies are still likely to open up steady playing time for Sosa versus left-handed pitching, his path to playing regularly against righties appears to have closed with shortstop Trea Turner (wrist) returning to the lineup Wednesday following a one-game absence.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Swats go-ahead homer
Rotowire
Sosa went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.
Sosa entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, but his impact came in the eighth when he hit a go-ahead homer. The utility man has gone just 8-for-47 (.170) in May, though he's supplied two homers and nine RBI. For the season, he's batting .213 with a .601 OPS, three homers, two stolen bases, 16 RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles over 95 plate appearances.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Pops two-run homer
Rotowire
Sosa went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Reds.
Sosa's homer Wednesday is his first since the Phillies' April 14 loss to the Cubs. The utility man tends to steps into Philadelphia's lineup in favor of Bryson Stott at second base or Brandon Marsh in left field against left-handed pitching, but he hasn't been all that effective at the dish in that role. Through 79 at-bats (28 games), Sosa is hitting .228 with two big flies, three doubles, 14 RBI and two stolen bases.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Sitting after four straight starts
Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Sosa will hit the bench after starting four straight games and going 3-for-15 with three RBI and one run. Two of those starts came at third base in place of Alec Bohm, but Sosa may not be in line for much playing time at the hot corner after Bohm finally busted out with two home runs and a double in his return to the lineup Saturday.

Rotowire
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Cubs.
Sosa blasted homer No. 1 on the campaign, taking Cubs right-hander Colin Rea deep in the second inning.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Moving back to reserve role
Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Sosa had started at shortstop each of the last four games, but he'll shift back into a utility role for the regular-season finale and for the Phillies' playoff run. Trea Turner (hamstring) will reclaim the shortstop job after being activated from the 10-day injured list.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Belts three homers Wednesday
Rotowire
Sosa went 3-for-4 with three home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 11-1 rout of the Marlins.
Making his return from a groin injury that had sidelined him since Sept. 12, the 29-year-old utility player came into the game with seven homers in 85 games on the season, but Sosa padded that total significantly with solo blasts in the fourth and seventh innings sandwiched around a three-run shot in the fifth. It's his first career multi-homer performance, and with Sosa getting the start at short in place of Trea Turner (hamstring), he remarkably became the first shortstop in Phillies history with a three-homer game. Turner could be activated from the IL on Friday, but Sosa figured to be busy over the final four games of the regular season as the team rests starters around the diamond ahead of the playoffs -- Sosa has seen action at every position except catcher, first base and right field in 2025.

Rotowire
The Phillies placed Sosa on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, with a right groin strain.
