Sosa is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds due to pain in his left wrist, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Sosa suffered the injury while attempting a diving play Wednesday. He didn't play Thursday and won't start Friday, but he's merely considered day-to-day, so it's possible he returns to the lineup before too long. Paul DeJong will remain the starter at shortstop.
