Phillies’ Bohm Leaves Game With Rib Injury

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm exited Saturday’s game against the San Diego Padres with a bruised left rib cage after being hit by a pitch from Yu Darvish in the second inning. Bohm initially continued to play, scoring a run and batting again, but was replaced defensively by Edmundo Sosa in the fourth inning. Sosa contributed immediately, driving in two runs in the fifth to give the Phillies a 4-3 lead. While Bohm's injury is not believed to be severe, the team may rest him as a precaution before the All-Star break. Bohm has been a key player this season, batting .281 with eight home runs and 42 RBIs. The Phillies, who have lost three of their last four games, risk losing their division lead if their struggles persist.
