Battling groin tightness Sosa was removed from Friday's game against the Royals with right groin tightness, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Manager Rob Thomson said after the game that pulling Sosa from the game was mostly a precautionary decision, so the 29-year-old infielder doesn't seem to be dealing with anything serious at the moment. If Sosa is unable to play in the near future, Bryson Stott would shift over to shortstop, which would open up opportunities at second base for Otto Kemp, Weston Wilson or Donovan Walton.

Idle Wednesday Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Sosa will hit the bench Wednesday and give way to Bryson Stott at shortstop after he had started in the first two games of the series, going 2-for-7 with a double and a run. Despite his absence from the lineup, the 29-year-old Sosa still projects to draw the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Trea Turner (hamstring) is on the mend.

Slated to fill in for Turner Sosa will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, second baseman Bryson Stott could see some time at shortstop after Trea Turner was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain, but Sosa is the more likely candidate to serve as the primary option at the position in Turner's absence. Sosa had handled a utility role for most of the season, but he's acquitted himself well at the plate when called upon, slashing .273/.309/.426 with seven home runs, one steal, 33 RBI and 25 runs over 233 plate appearances. The Phillies remain optimistic that Turner will be able to return from the IL before the postseason, but Sosa could provide some short-term value in deeper leagues while handling a near-everyday role at shortstop.

Belts seventh homer in win Sosa went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact Sosa drew the start at second base versus left-hander Mitchell Parker, blasting his seventh homer of the year and his third of the month of August. The righty-hitting Sosa has a definitive short-side platoon role -- he sports a .917 OPS against lefties in 2025 -- though his .558 OPS against righties will likely continue to prevent him from seeing regular at-bats. Bryson Stott boasts a 1.049 OPS so far this month, which is also working against Sosa's ability to pick up more playing time at the keystone.
