Edmundo Sosa - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Heading back to bench Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact 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.

Swats go-ahead homer Sosa went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Sosa entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, but he made an impact 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.

Pops two-run homer Sosa went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Reds.

Impact Sosa smacked his first homer Wednesday since the 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 from time to time, 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.

Sitting after four straight starts Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Sosa will hit the bench after he had been included in the lineup for each of the past four games while going a collective 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 for the foreseeable future after Bohm busted out with two home runs and a double in his return to the lineup during Saturday's 9-3 win.

Impact Sosa blasted homer No. 1 on the campaign, taking Cubs right-hander Colin Rea deep in the second inning. While the righty-hitting infielder is stuck in a short-side platoon, he's been effective when deployed so far this season. Sosa has gone 5-for-17 (.294) with three extra-base hits, five RBI and two walks over eight games.
