Phillies to promote prospect Alec Bohm, per sources
Alec Bohm is on his way to Philly, sources have confirmed to NBC Sports Philadelphia. The Phillies will promote their top position player prospect to the active roster. The news was first reported by The Athletic.
No corresponding move has been announced and it’s not immediately known whose place on the 28-man roster Bohm will take. A position player going on the IL seems like a strong possibility.
Bohm, a corner infielder, hit .305/.378/.518 with 21 home runs and 80 RBIs in 540 plate appearances last season at Lakewood (A), Clearwater (High A) and Reading (Double A). He did not spend any time at Triple A.
The Phillies’ corner infielders have struggled early. First baseman Rhys Hoskins has hit .190 with one RBI and third baseman Jean Segura has hit .205. Both were involved in a costly misplay in the ninth inning Tuesday. Second baseman Scott Kingery is also off to a slow start at 4 for 40. He had been sick with COVID earlier in the summer and appears to still be building strength.
