Impact Sosa has been getting the job done as the primary replacement at shortstop for Trea Turner, who was placed on the 10-day injured list May 4 with a left hamstring strain. While starting in seven of the last eight games, Sosa has gotten on base at a .444 clip while contributing three extra-base hits (one triple, two doubles) and two stolen bases. He'll remain in the starting nine once again Monday against the Mets, manning shortstop while batting sixth.

Expected back Thursday Phillies manager Rob Thomson expects Sosa (foot) to return to the lineup Thursday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Sosa was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup due to a bruised left foot which occurred when he fouled a ball off the area. However, it sounds like he could have played, if needed, and will only miss one day of action.

Settles at $1.7 million Sosa signed a one-year, $1.7 million contract with the Phillies on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Sosa hit .251 and managed a .720 OPS with 30 RBI through 299 plate appearances in 2023. While last season ended up being one of Sosa's best at the plate, his role remains limited due to the presence of Bryson Stott, Alec Bohm and Trea Turner in Philadelphia's infield.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Sits for Game 1 of twin bill Sosa is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Sosa went 4-for-18 with a home run, a stolen base, two RBI and three runs while making five starts in the Phillies' past seven games, but he'll be back on the bench for the first game of Monday's twin bill. Despite the uptick in playing time of late, Sosa still looks to be viewed as a utility man and doesn't have a direct path to an everyday spot in the lineup.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Triple, home run in win Sosa went 2-for-4 with a triple and a two-run homer in Monday's 10-4 win over the Giants.

Impact Sosa put the Phillies ahead 3-1 with a two-run blast off of Sean Manaea in the second inning before picking up his second triple of the year in the fourth. It's an encouraging effort for Sosa, who's now 4-for-6 over his last three games, though he's retreated to a utility role since Bryce Harper's taken over as the Phillies' primary first baseman, moving Alec Bohm back to third. Overall, the 27-year-old Sosa is batting .252 with eight homers, 28 runs scored, 23 RBI and a .721 OPS across 228 plate appearances this season.

Out of Sunday's lineup Sosa is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Impact Sosa leads the Phillies with 51 starts at third base this season, but he'll likely see that playing time drop now that Bryce Harper is seeing action at first base. That's the case Sunday, with Alec Bohm moving to the hot corner while batting seventh.

Out of lineup Tuesday Sosa (leg) is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

Impact Sosa made an early exit from the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Padres due to a leg cramp, but he scored a run off the bench in Sunday's series finale and should be available in the same capacity as the Phillies open a three-game set against Milwaukee. Alec Bohm is starting at third base and batting seventh for the Phillies on Tuesday.

Dealing with cramp Sosa exited the second game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Padres due to a cramp, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Sosa had a rough half-inning in the seventh, reaching base on a hit by pitch to the hand and then getting lifted after looking gimpy running from second to third. However, it looks like he's managed to avoid a serious injury in both cases. Consider Sosa day-to-day.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with apparent leg injury Sosa was lifted from the second game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Padres with an apparent leg injury, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Sosa came up lame while running from second to third in the seventh inning and was removed for a pinch-runner. He had reached base after being hit on the hand by a pitch with the bases loaded.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps slump with homer Sosa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Cubs in Wednesday's 8-5 win.

Impact Sosa entered Wednesday mired in a massive June swoon during which he was batting a paltry .174 with no homers, no walks and 13 strikeouts over 46 plate appearances. For one game at least, he showed that he is still capable of contributing at the plate, as he kicked off a big offensive night for the team with a two-run shot in the second inning. Sosa's primary contributions to the Phillies are versatility and defense, and given his ugly 2:43 BB:K on the campaign, there's little reason to believe he's headed for a sudden surge at the dish.
