Phillies' Alec Bohm: Fifth career multi-homer game
Rotowire
Bohm went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and four RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.
It was Bohm's fifth career multi-homer game and his first of 2026. The 29-year-old third baseman, who hit eighth in the lineup, is still off to a dreadful start overall, batting .177 with three homers, four doubles and 19 RBI over 130 at-bats, but Saturday's showing was a significant step forward for him as he tries to work his way back up Philadelphia's batting order. The four RBI on Saturday were a season high as well.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Rare extra-base hit in easy win
Rotowire
Bohm went 2-for-4 with an RBI double during the Phillies' 7-0 win over the Giants on Tuesday.
Bohm badly needed some kind of spark amid what's been a miserable start to his season. Tuesday's effort marked the first time since April 6 that the third baseman logged both an extra-base hit and an RBI in the same game. Bohm, who's hitting .157 with four extra-base hits, 12 RBI and six runs scored across 102 at-bats, opened the year as Philadelphia's cleanup hitter but has hit sixth or lower in the batting order in each of his last 15 starts.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Taking seat Tuesday
Rotowire
Bohm is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Bohm's absence from the lineup is his first of the season that's a pure lineup decision, as his previous time on the bench April 7 in San Francisco was due to minor groin tightness. The 29-year-old third baseman launched a three-run home run Opening Day but is batting just .145 (8-for-55) with one extra-base hit in the ensuing 14 contests. Bohm has been dropped from the cleanup spot for the past week, batting sixth, seventh or eighth in his last four starts.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Back in action Wednesday
Rotowire
Bohm (groin) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game versus the Giants.
Bohm was held out of action Tuesday due to some minor groin tightness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale after one day of rest. The 29-year-old sports a .205/.295/.308 batting line with one home run and a 4:5 BB:K across his first 44 plate appearances this season.

Rotowire

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Goes yard as cleanup hitter
Rotowire
Bohm went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk during Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Bohm's fantasy value appears to be on the rise right off the bat, as he hit fourth in Philadelphia's Opening Day lineup over other candidates such as Adolis Garcia and J.T. Realmuto. On top of that, Bohm is coming off a torrid spring that saw him bat .310 with three homers, two doubles and 10 RBI across 42 Grapefruit League at-bats to perhaps seize the cleanup role.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Favorite for cleanup role
Rotowire
Bohm is the most likely option to bat fourth in Philadelphia's lineup this season, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Manager Rob Thomson also mentioned Adolis Garcia and J.T. Realmuto as candidates for the cleanup role in 2026. Nick Castellanos, who signed with the Padres on Saturday, handled the majority of the cleanup duties a year ago, and it's possible the Phillies will use spring training as an audition to determine who's next in line as their primary No. 4 hitter. Bohm bounced around the batting order last season and ended up spending around half his time in the lower half of the lineup, so it's encouraging to hear he's in pole position to hit cleanup this spring.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Nets $10.2 million from Phillies
Rotowire
The Phillies and Bohm avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $10.2 million contract Thursday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
It's a nice raise for Bohm, who had been eligible for salary arbitration for a final time. The 29-year-old slashed .287/.331/.409 and thumped 11 homers over 120 regular-season contests for the Phillies in 2025. Bohm is slated to hit the free-agent market next winter.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Smacks 10th homer
Rotowire
Bohm went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Bohm has gone 4-for-9 with two extra-base hits and four RBI over two games since he returned from a shoulder injury that led to a minimal stay on the injured list. The third baseman is up to 10 long balls on the year, with this one being his first since Aug. 17 versus the Nationals. He's added a .275/.321/.394 slash line with 55 RBI, 49 runs scored and two stolen bases over 113 contests this season.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Headed for brief stint on IL
Rotowire
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he expects Bohm (shoulder) to return from the injured list in the minimum 10 days after the third baseman was deactivated Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Edmundo Sosa and Triple-A Lehigh Valley call-up Otto Kemp will enter the lineup at shortstop and third base, respectively, in Monday's game against the Mets, as the Phillies will break in two new starters in the infield with Bohm and Trea Turner (hamstring) landing on the IL. Though Turner may not be ready to return until shortly before the postseason, Bohm looks like he'll be headed for a shorter absence after he had been playing through pain in his non-dominant (left) shoulder in recent days. According to Gelb, Bohm was determined to be dealing with a cyst that needed to be drained and will be further treated with an injection, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to resume baseball activities after a few days of rest. Bohm is on the IL for the second time this season, after a fractured left rib kept him out of commission for about a month shortly after the All-Star break.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Slated for Sunday activation
Rotowire
Bohm (ribs) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Nationals, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.
Bohm started a rehab assignment last week and played in five games, going 3-for-21 (.143) with a homer and a triple. The third baseman is feeling well enough to rejoin the active roster for Sunday's series finale against Washington. His return will likely mean fewer at-bats for Edmundo Sosa and Otto Kemp.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Hits in cage, gets reps in field
Rotowire
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Bohm (rib) fielded ground balls and hit in the batting cage prior to Sunday's game against the Tigers, MLB.com reports.
Thomson noted that Bohm is pain-free as he works his way back from a fractured left rib and is drawing closer to beginning a rehab assignment. Since Bohm was placed on the injured list July 19, the Phillies have been getting by with a combination of Otto Kemp and Edmundo Sosa at third base.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Phillies placed Bohm on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a fractured left rib.
Bohm took a pitch off his ribcage last Saturday, which caused him to miss the final game before the All-Star break. He attempted to play through it Friday, but imaging revealed a fracture after the game, so he'll now spend time on the IL while Otto Kemp fills in as Philadelphia's third baseman. Weston Wilson was recalled from Triple-A to replenish the Phillies' infield depth.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Bohm (ribs) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
As expected, Bohm won't start in the Phillies' final game before the All-Star break after he was lifted from Saturday's 5-4 loss in the fourth inning, two innings after he was hit on the left rib cage by a pitch. According to Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Bohm wasn't sent in for an X-rays after team trainers determined that he avoided a fracture, but the 28-year-old is still dealing with some residual soreness and bruising on his rib. Manager Rob Thomson didn't rule out the possibility of Bohm making a pinch-hitting appearance Sunday, though the Phillies would probably prefer to stay away from using him. Edmundo Sosa will fill in for Bohm at third base.

Bohm is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres.
Bohm will exit the lineup for the first time since May 10, ending a stretch of 46 consecutive starts for the veteran infielder. Edmundo Sosa will fill in at third base in the early contest in place of Bohm, who will presumably return to the starting nine for the nightcap.
