Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm is out of the starting lineup for NLDS Game 2. Edmundo Sosa is at third base against Mets starter Luis Severino.
Bohm has been struggling. He went 0-for-4 in Saturday’s Game 1, seeing only seven pitches. In September, he batted .170 (8-for-47) with a .502 OPS.
Sosa batted .191 with a .504 OPS against right-handed pitching this season, and .154 (4-for-26) in September, which makes this move curious. But Phillies manager Rob Thomson obviously thinks a shake-up is necessary.
