Phillies' Alec Bohm Returns from Injured List Ahead of Postseason

The Philadelphia Phillies reinstated third baseman Alec Bohm from the 10-day injured list after a left shoulder inflammation sidelined him for 10 days. Bohm, a 2024 All-Star, has had a productive season with a .272 batting average, nine home runs, and 51 RBIs over 111 games, and his return is expected to bolster the Phillies as they pursue a playoff berth and a first-round bye in the 2025 MLB postseason. The team optioned infielder Rafael Lantigua to Triple-A to make room for Bohm on the roster. Phillies manager Rob Thomson expressed optimism about Bohm's health and potential impact, noting his strong batting practice performance and recent form before injury. Meanwhile, Trea Turner remains in rehab with hopes to return before the playoffs. During Bohm's absence, the Phillies went 8-2, secured the NL East title, and improved their position in the postseason race.
