Stott went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
With Trea Turner (hamstring) and Edmundo Sosa (groin) both on the injured list, Stott has started each of Philadelphia's last eight games to help pick up the slack. Stott had a weak .645 OPS through July 30, but he's fared far better at the dish ever since. Over his last 150 plate appearances, he's slashing .321/.393/.519 with 15 extra-base hits, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and seven stolen bases to raise his OPS to .719 for the year.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Comes up clutch Friday
Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-1 with two walks, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 win over the Tigers.

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.
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.

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.
