Phillies Make Key Roster Move, The Philadelphia Phillies announced on Friday that infielder Alec Bohm has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The team had hoped Bohm could avoid the IL, but his injury has kept him sidelined in recent games. To fill the gap, infielder Buddy Kennedy has been called up to the major league roster.
The Phillies are currently managing a wave of injuries, with outfielder Austin Hays also recently added to the IL. Bryce Harper is dealing with multiple injuries but plans to continue playing through them. Bohm initially aimed to do the same, but the team decided he would benefit from some time off to fully recover.
Alec Bohm’s 2024 season interrupted by injury
The 28-year-old All-Star third baseman is having a stellar 2024 season, slashing .290/.343/.462 with an OPS of .804 over 131 games. He leads the league with 44 doubles, adding 13 home runs and 89 RBIs to his impressive stats. Bohm has always shown promise, performing well in past seasons, but has elevated his game significantly this year.
The Phillies are hopeful for his return before the regular season ends to help the team prepare for the playoffs, but his recovery timeline remains unclear. Whether or not Bohm plays again in the regular season, his 2024 campaign has been remarkable, and he has his eyes set on ending the year by lifting the World Series trophy.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson speaks out on Bohm
The Phillies will need Bohm in their lineup come October. Currently, Philadelphia has a substantial eight-game advantage over the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves in the National League East. The challenge now isn’t making it to the postseason but rather how the eager Phillies will perform in the playoffs. Manager Rob Thomson recognizes that Bohm has been crucial to the team’s success in 2024.
