Bryson Stott Scratched From Phillies Lineup Due to Personal Matter
Stott is out of Philadelphia's lineup for personal reasons; Edmundo Sosa draws the start at third base in his place.
Bryson Stott is out of the Phillies lineup due to a personal matter, per Paul Casella of MLB.com. Edmundo Sosa steps in and gets the start at third base.
The nature of the absence is not disclosed, and no timetable or further detail has been provided. Personal-matter scratches are exactly what they sound like: the team says what it needs to say, and the rest stays private.
What to watch
Whether Stott returns to the lineup in the next series is the only open question worth tracking here. In the meantime, Sosa gets a look at the hot corner for a Phillies club that has been navigating its own share of roster storylines — most notably Zack Wheeler's ongoing effort to work through a lingering physical issue, which he has been addressing with biomechanics analysis.
