Phillies Looking To Get Edmundo Sosa More Playing Time
Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson sounds inclined to find more at-bats for infielder Edmundo Sosa, even when the team isn't facing a left-handed starter. Sosa will be in the lineup on Tuesday against the division-rival Atlanta Braves with left-hander Chris Sale on the mound, but it remains to be seen who he'll replace. It could come in the outfield to replace either Brandon Marsh or Max Kepler. The catch is that the Phillies aren't seeking platoon roles for Marsh, Kepler or even second baseman Bryson Stott, but Sosa brings energy to the squad and is well respected in the locker room. The 29-year-old is 11-for-20 with four doubles, five strikeouts and a walk to begin the season and will be a nice low-cost sleeper option in DFS when he's in the lineup, just maybe not this Tuesday against the reigning National League Cy Young winner.
