Overview
- Alec Bohm, the Philadelphia Phillies' starting third baseman, is experiencing left hamstring tightness and had an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.
- Bohm felt discomfort fielding a ground ball Tuesday night but played the full game; he sat out the next two games due to the tightness.
- If Bohm has to miss extended time, the Phillies have limited options to replace his production at the hot corner and in the lineup.
- The Phillies' first base depth is shallow, with Kody Clemens and Edmundo Sosa as the top internal options.
- The Phillies, currently 25-30, can ill afford to lose Bohm for long in their chase for a playoff spot.
