Phillies' Bryson Stott: Snaps long homer drought in win
Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Seattle.
Stott clubbed his eighth homer of the year and his first since July 23 versus Boston. The speedy infielder hasn't led off for the Phillies since early June, but he's finally beginning to gain some momentum in August as he tries to climb his way back up the batting order. Through his first 43 at-bats of the month, Stott is hitting .326 with four doubles, eight RBI, nine runs scored and four steals.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Adds two walks, stolen base in rout
Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Yankees.
That's now three straight games with at least one hit for Stott, although he's struggled mightily as a whole since the start of May. The middle infielder is slashing a woeful .203/.275/.299 with five home runs, seven doubles and 26 RBI over his last 257 plate appearances (66 outings), but he's at least stolen nine bases during this span. Stott had worked his way into Philadelphia's leadoff spot consistently from mid-April to early June, though he hasn't hit first since June 8 and is unlikely to regain that position unless he really begins to heat up at the dish.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Registers steal in win
Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Padres.
Stott is off to a quiet start in July, going 5-for-30 (.167) with three walks over nine games to begin the month. His theft Sunday was his first of the month and his 14th of the year on 17 chances, which is a bit of a decline after he posted back-to-back 30-steal campaigns the last two seasons. The 27-year-old has added a .234/.303/.333 slash line with six home runs, 38 RBI, 38 runs scored, nine doubles and two triples over 86 contests.
Stott went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and a pair of walks in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Reds.
Stott's homer, his sixth of the season, proved to be the decisive blow in the win -- the second baseman drove a two-strike pitch from Tony Santillan 405 feet over the right-field fence to put the Phillies ahead in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old Stott had been slumping coming into the day, going just 2-for-20 over his previous six contests. Overall, he's slashing .238/.310/.340 with 37 runs scored, 37 RBI and 13 stolen bases across 327 plate appearances this year.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Pilfers 13th bag
Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-3 with a steal, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 4-0 win versus the Padres.
Stott swiped his second base of the month when he took second off San Diego starter Matt Waldron in the fourth. June was tough for the Philadelphia second baseman, as he entered this contest with an anemic .210/.289/.272 slash line over 90 plate appearances. Perhaps this stolen base, his first since June 18, can kickstart Stott, who now sports a .244 average, five homers, 36 runs scored and 35 RBI while going 13-for-16 on steal attempts across 77 games.

Rotowire

While starting in each of the previous 11 contests, Stott went 9-for-38 with a home run, two doubles, one stolen base, eight RBI and two runs.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Carries offense in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Stott went 2-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Marlins.
The second baseman capped a four-run fourth inning for the Phillies by launching a first-pitch fastball from Adam Mazur over the fence in right-center field. Stott ended a 26-game homer drought with the blast, a stretch in which he slashed just .181/.238/.202 with three RBI and seven runs. On the season, the 27-year-old sports a career-worst .642 OPS with five homers, 12 steals, 30 RBI and 32 runs in 68 contests.
Stott (elbow) is starting at second base and batting sixth Tuesday against the Marlins, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Stott suffered a hyperextended elbow during Monday's win against the Marlins but is back in the starting nine for Tuesday's contest. The 27-year-old has struggled at the plate so far in June, as he's batting .146 (7-for-46) with one extra-base hit in 14 games.

Rotowire
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Stott suffered a hyperextended elbow on a swing during Monday's 5-2 win over the Marlins, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Thomson added that Stott could sit out Tuesday's contest, but the Phillies' second baseman doesn't appear to be dealing with a long-term injury concern. Stott went 1-for-4 with a double in Monday's contest and is slashing .236/.300/.329 with four home runs, 27 RBI, 31 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 271 plate appearances on the season.
