The Philadelphia Phillies were crushed 11-3 in Friday night’s series opener against the New York Mets, but still had some positive news to reveal after the game.
Manager Rob Thomson announced postgame that third baseman Alec Bohm (left hand strain) and utility infielder Edmundo Sosa (back spasms) will both begin rehab assignments with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Bohm is slated to play all nine innings at third base Saturday for the IronPigs, before DHing on Sunday. Thomson said that Bohm will need “hopefully just two” rehab appearances before returning to the Phillies. So if all goes well, he will rejoin the Phillies in Milwaukee as they try to wrap up the NL East and put themselves in position to get the No.
