Daily News | Phillies shift gears again, keep Alec Bohm at first base against a right-hander
This time, though, the change is by choice, not out of necessity.
“Sosa’s hot swinging the bat,” Thomson said before the game. “He’s really a talented guy, and his offense is improving. He’s not chasing as much. He’s staying on breaking balls. He’s stronger than he was last year.”Rhys Hoskins had season-ending surgery March 30 to reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Hall injured his thumb last Wednesday in New York and will have surgery this week. He’s expected to miss two months.
As expected, Bohm moved to first base, with Sosa at third Saturday against Reds lefty Nick Lodolo. But Thomson stayed with that alignment in the series finale against right-hander Connor Overton and indicated that he may stick with it for a while. The Phillies have talked internally about whether moving Bohm to first base would disrupt the progress that he’s made defensively at third. Bohm typically takes grounders at the position where he’s playing that day. It could mean less practice time at third base.“I should be locked in every day, right?” Bohm said. “Playing all over the place, it’s not necessarily easy. But at the same time, it’s a really similar position as far as ground balls and hops I’m getting.
