Stott (foot) is starting at third base and batting sixth against the Mariners on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Stott was removed during the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a right foot contusion. X-rays following the contest came back negative, and the 28-year-old third baseman has been given the green light to play in Monday's series opener. Stott is in the midst of a mini-slump at the plate, having gone 0-for-12 with a walk and a run scored over his last four outings.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Dealing with bruised foot
Rotowire
Stott left Sunday's game against the Cardinals in the eighth inning due to a right foot contusion, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Stott sustained the injury when he fouled a ball off the side of his foot in the sixth inning, but he remained in the game for the seventh before being pulled. X-rays on his foot were negative following the contest, and the Phillies will re-evaluate the infielder ahead of Monday's series opener in Seattle. Edmundo Sosa could draw the spot start at third base if Stott, who has taken over as Philadelphia's primary third baseman since the acquisition of Luis Arraez (hamstring) at the trade deadline, needs a day off to heal.

Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Settling in at third base
Rotowire
Stott will start at third base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Stott will carry a four-game hitting streak into Wednesday's contest and has been sizzling at the dish throughout August, slashing .424/.587/.545 with four doubles, five stolen bases, 13 walks, seven runs and four RBI in 11 contests. He'll also be making his ninth consecutive start at third base, where he'll continue to see most of his reps moving forward after the Phillies acquired Luis Arraez last week and installed him as their everyday second baseman. Stott looks poised to head into 2027 carrying eligibility at both second and third base in the majority of fantasy leagues.
Phillies' Bryson Stott: Move to 3B potentially in works
Rotowire
The Phillies could look to move Stott to third base after acquiring second baseman Luis Arraez from the Giants on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Arraez played primarily at first base and designated hitter over the previous two seasons, but he's fared well defensively while transitioning back to a full-time role at second base for the Giants in 2026 and is expected to stick at that position in Philadelphia. The arrival of Arraez will leave fewer reps available for Stott at the keystone, but the Phillies would be able to keep the latter's bat in the lineup by moving him to third base. Alec Bohm would then shift across the diamond to first base to accommodate Stott, while Bryce Harper could settle into an everyday role in right field, where the Phillies have been leaning on a combination of Bryan De La Cruz and Gabriel Rincones of late. The Phillies may still add or subtract from their position-player group leading up to Monday's trade deadline, so a move to third base is hardly locked in for Stott at this stage.
