Bryson Stott's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Phillies middle infielder Bryson Stott and outfielder Johan Rojas will both retreat to the bench on Thursday against the visiting New York Mets. With Stott out, Whit Merrifield will make the start at second base and bat sixth against Mets left-hander Jose Quintana. Cristian Pache will play center field for the Phillies and bat out of the nine-hole. Despite hitting .294 (10-for-34) against southpaws this year, Stott will get the day off to rest. He's been hot to start the month of May while picking up offensively slack with Trea Turner (hamstring) out, as Stott has gone 14-for-34 (.412) with a homer, 12 RBI and five stolen bases since May 3. He should be back at second base on Friday for the start of a series against the visiting Washington Nationals. Merrifield has struggled to hit this year, batting .188 (15-for-80) with two homers, four RBI and four steals.

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott brought the late-inning heroics in the Monday night 5-4 win by hitting a game-tying solo home run against New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz. Stott also included an infield single to make that three games in a row with a multi-hit effort. He is now sporting a .270 batting average with three home runs, 23 RBI, and 10 stolen bases over 36 games. In the past week, he's been doing it all for fantasy managers with 10 hits, nine runs batted in, and four stolen bases. Look for Stott to keep it rolling with three more games on tap against the Mets and three against the Nationals to cap off the week.

Philadelphia Phillies infielderBryson Stottwas the hero of the day in the team's 8-3 over the Miami Marlins on Saturday as his bases-clearing triple in the top of the sixth inning broke the game open.

Over the past 15 games, the second baseman has driven in 16 runs while sporting a .400 OBP, making him a must-start in all league formats.
