Edmundo Sosa's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa put together a good all-around performance in Tuesday's victory versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sosa went 2-for-4 with a run, home run and stolen base in a big night for the infielder. Sosa has had a solid season with a .274 batting average to go along with six homers, 25 RBI and six stolen bases this season, but Tuesday's start was his first since July 31 and he has not been getting enough opportunity to help fantasy managers. If an injury were to occur in the Phillies infield, Sosa's versatility would likely give him more at-bats. As it stands, Sosa can be left on the waiver wire.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (elbow) had negative X-rays on his sore elbow. He is listed as day-to-day with a contusion. Sosa was hit by a pitch by Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Scott McGough, left the game, and was replaced by Whit Merrifield. Should Sosa need to miss time, Merrifield could replace him in the lineup in the short term. Sosa provided a huge boost to the team when Trea Turner was out with a leg injury, hitting .281 with five home runs, 19 RBI, and three stolen bases in 139 at-bats.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Edmundo Sosa is taking a day off on Tuesday against the visiting Texas Rangers. With Trea Turner (hamstring) currently on the injured list with a hammy strain, Sosa has become the club's regular shortstop. With Sosa on the bench Tuesday, Bryson Stott will slide over to the 6 while Kody Clemens starts at second base and bats seventh against Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. Sosa has been a great fill-in on the infield for the Phillies, as he's hitting .296 (16-for-54) on the year, albeit with just one home run and eight RBI. Expect the 28-year-old to return to the lineup on Wednesday. Clemens has never faced Gray in his career. Despite going 9-for-28 (.321) this year with three home runs, Clemens will be a low-upside DFS play on Tuesday.
