Alec Bohm Returns From IL, Drives In Three as Phillies Beat D-backs 8-2

The third baseman was reinstated after treatment for a left-shoulder cyst to stabilize a lineup chasing a first-round bye.

Overview

  • Bohm was activated Friday after the minimum 10 days on the injured list, which was backdated to Sept. 8.
  • He doubled in a run in the second inning and added a two-run single in the ninth in his first game back at Chase Field.
  • Philadelphia optioned infielder Rafael Lantigua to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and outrighted outfielder Brewer Hicklen after he cleared waivers.
  • The Phillies have clinched the NL East and entered the Arizona series with a magic number of four to secure a first-round bye.
  • Trea Turner is reported ahead of schedule for a possible return during the final homestand as Edmundo Sosa remains on the IL; Bohm’s season line sits at .272/.319/.384 with nine homers and 51 RBIs in 111 games.
