Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (foot) was scratched from the team's Grapefruit League lineup on Wednesday due to a left-foot contusion. He's listed as day-to-day after fouling a ball off his foot, but manager Rob Thomson said that Sosa is expected to return to spring training action on Thursday. "He's fine, he told me he could have played, I would think for sure he's going to be in there tomorrow," Thomson said. The 27-year-old Panamanian hit .251/.293/.427 with a career-high 10 home runs, 30 RBI, four steals and 34 runs scored for the Phils in 104 regular-season games in 2023. Sosa has proven to be a below-average major-league hitter, but he can play second base, third base, and shortstop and isn't a terrible utility infielder to have around in real life.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (leg) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Sosa suffered a leg cramp in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday against the San Diego Padres and didn't start on Sunday, although he came off the bench. Alec Bohm will start at third base and bat seventh on Tuesday against Brewers veteran right-hander Julio Teheran. In his first full season in Philadelphia, the 27-year-old Sosa is hitting a mediocre .249/.271/.405 with a career-high-tying six home runs, nine doubles, a triple, 20 RBI and 22 runs scored in 194 plate appearances and 66 games as a utility infielder.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Edmundo Sosa (hand, leg) left the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the San Diego Padres. The 27-year-old took a pitch to the hand in the seventh inning. However, he was bothered by a leg issue while running the bases, resulting in his premature departure from the contest. Luckily, skipper Rob Thomson reported Sosa had a cramp before adding that his hand "checked out ok." For now, fantasy managers should consider Sosa as day-to-day, with a more definitive update likely coming ahead of Sunday's series finale.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (back) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Noah Davis. Sosa is starting at third base and is hitting ninth in the batting order. The 27-year-old will return to action after missing the last five games with a lower back injury. Despite his strong .344 average (11-for-32) with three doubles, two home runs and five RBI, Sosa doesn't have much DFS upside while batting at the bottom of Philly's lineup. Still, with Rhys Hoskins (knee) out for the year and Alec Bohm sliding over to first base on occasion, Sosa should continue to get decent playing time at the hot corner, making him worth rostering in deep-mixed leagues while he continues to play well.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Colorado Rockies. Sosa will be missing his fifth straight game after suffering a lower back injury last weekend. There's a chance that the 27-year-old will need to go on the injured list if his injury doesn't improve by the weekend. Sosa and the Phils would prefer if he avoided the IL, as he's hitting .344 (11-for-32) with three doubles, two home runs, five RBI and two runs in 13 games in the early going. Alec Bohm is shifting to first base and hitting seventh on Thursday, while Josh Harrison is at third base and batting ninth in the order against Rockies right-hander Ryan Feltner. Harrison is a low-upside, low-cost DFS option Thursday.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (back) left Saturday's game against the Reds with low back discomfort. According to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sosa went down at third base in batting practice after getting wiped out by a hard grounder. He got right back up and finished taking grounders. This could have played a part in Sosa exiting early. The 27-year-old went 2-for-2 before being replaced in the game by Kody Clemens. Sosa is considered day-to-day for now. Clemens would see an uptick in at-bats if Sosa were to miss any games.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (forearm) said he's OK after being hit by a pitch on his right forearm in the Grapefruit League game on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles. He's just dealing with a little tightness after leaving the game early as a precaution. The Phillies figure to use the 27-year-old as a utility player in 2023, and he's also been getting some repetitions in the outfield in camp. In 78 games with the Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals in 2022, he hit .227/.275/.369 with a .644 OPS, two home runs, 21 RBI, 26 runs scored and a career-high six stolen bases in 190 plate appearances. Unless the Phillies are hit with injuries, Sosa figures to serve in a bench role yet again.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Matt Vierling and shortstop Edmundo Sosa are in the starting lineup for Game 6 of the World Series against the Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. Brandon Marsh and rookie Bryson Stott will start on the bench against the southpaw. Vierling is hitting eighth and Sosa is in the nine-hole. In 11 playoff games (four starts), Vierling has gone just 2-for-12 with a double, RBI, two runs scored and four strikeouts. Meanwhile, Sosa has also played in 11 games (three starts) and has gone 2-for-6 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored, a walk and three strikeouts. Any offensive production the Phillies get from these two will be gravy as they look to send the series to a deciding seventh game on Sunday.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Edmundo Sosa is in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the World Series against lefty Framber Valdez. Sosa and lefty Bryson Stott have formed a platoon this postseason, which continues tonight as Sosa gets in against a left-handed pitcher. The 26-year-old has made the most of his limited opportunities, going 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs scored, and two RBI this postseason. Sosa has been solely used against lefties, meaning it is likely Stott gets in at some point tonight should the Astros turn to a right-handed pitcher.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Edmundo Sosa is in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday for the second game of the National League Championship Series against the San Diego Padres and left-hander Blake Snell. Sosa hit .227 during the regular season with a .275 on-base percentage, a pair of home runs, and six stolen bases in 190 plate appearances. So far this postseason he's collected a double and a walk in four plate appearances. He'll hit ninth against Snell and the Padres.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Edmundo Sosa (hamstring) is headed to meet the team at Busch Stadium in St. Louis for the team's National League Wild-Card Series this weekend against the Cardinals for a possible return from his hamstring injury. After being traded from the Cardinals to the Phillies this year, Sosa hit .315/.345/.593 with a .937 OPS, two home runs, 13 RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases in his 25 games with the Phillies. The 26-year-old's season was in jeopardy when he suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain in mid-September, but there's a chance he could serve as a bench player for the Phillies in St. Louis this weekend if he checks out fine. Sosa has mostly been a defense-first player, but he has impressed with his bat in his short time in Philly.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Edmundo Sosa has been traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. Ken Rosenthal noted that the details of the trade have not yet been disclosed. The 26-year-old infielder is slashing a meager .188/.244/.270 with eight RBI and three stolen bases over 122 at-bats this year. He'll serve as infield depth for the Phillies the rest of the way.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Edmundo Sosa (ankle) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the New York Mets. Sosa left the game early on Wednesday with an ankle injury. He got the start at the 6 with Tommy Edman battling a sore calf, but Edman is at second base and batting leadoff on Thursday against Mets right-hander Chris Bassitt. Brendan Donovan is starting at shortstop and is hitting in the two-hole. Sosa is hitting just .220 with no home runs, one RBI and a stolen base in 16 games this year, and he's mostly middle infield depth with both Edman and Donovan healthy. Edman is hitting .269 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 25 runs scored and a league-high nine stolen bases this year, so he needs to be returned to all starting fantasy lineups.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Edmundo Sosa (ankle) was removed from Wednesday's game against the New York Mets with a left ankle strain. He suffered the injury while attempting to steal second base during the fifth inning. The 26-year-old went 1-for-2 before leaving. He was replaced in the game by Tommy Edman. He is considered day-to-day and will undergo further evaluation on his ankle. This season, Sosa hasn't been much of a factor in fantasy, slashing .220/.273/.363 with an RBI over 16 games.

The St. Louis Cardinals activated shortstop Edmundo Sosa from the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday and optioned infielder Kramer Robertson to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Sosa has been in quarantine for a week after testing positive for the virus, but he could see the majority of playing time at shortstop in St. Louis upon his return after the team demoted the struggling Paul DeJong to the minors earlier in the week. Brendan Donovan is starting at the 6 and is hitting ninth on Thursday against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Bryan Baker, but Sosa will have a chance to supplant Donovan as the guy at shortstop now that he's healthy. In 113 games last season, Sosa had six home runs, 27 RBI, four stolen bases and a .271 batting average in 326 plate appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Edmundo Sosa is expected to start his minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, and he will bat leadoff. Sosa was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on May 3, and he'll likely need at least a few minor league games before the Cardinals are comfortable returning him to the major leagues. Before coming down with the virus, the 26-year-old had gone 4-for-25 with one stolen base and 12 strikeouts in 10 games for the Cardinals. Once he's ready to return to the big leagues, he'll split time at the 6 with Paul DeJong.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Edmundo Sosa (wrist) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Rich Hill and the New York Mets. The 25-year-old was held out of the starting lineup for four straight games as he was nursing a left wrist sprain. However, he did enter Sunday's game as a pinch-hitter and went 0-for-2. Sosa has outperformed fellow shortstop Paul DeJong at the plate over the past few months and he's become the team's primary shortstop as a result. He had an OPS of 1.071 in August and he's slashing .279/.354/.400 on the year.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Edmundo Sosa (wrist) was not in the starting lineup for the third straight game on Saturday as he continues to deal with a left wrist injury, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. He's been a decent play in deeper formats this season, slashing .282/.357/.403 with five homers, four steals, 22 RBI and 33 runs scored in 98 games. Paul DeJong got the start at shortstop on Saturday evening, and should continue to see time there while Sosa is out.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Edmundo Sosa is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to MLB.com. Sosa, who has been getting the majority of the playing time at short recently, has slashed .282/.357/.403 with five home runs and four stolen bases in 98 games. He's a good player to roster in OBP leagues, but other than that, he can be ignored. Paul DeJong will take his spot at shortstop and bat seventh. It's been another disappointing year for DeJong, who is hitting just .198 but does have 16 HRs and three stolen bases across 97 games. Fantasy managers can stream him in deep leagues in hopes that will put one over the fence.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Edmundo Sosa had the best game of his big league career on Saturday in a 13-0 blowout win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sosa, getting the start at shortstop and batting seventh in the order, went 4-for-6 with three runs scored and five RBI. Sosa hit two triples and two singles, improving his batting average to .276 and his OPS to .756. He doesn't start every day, but he's proven to be more than capable of holding his own when he finds himself in the lineup. He could make for a cheap but potentially solid DFS option whenever he gets a start.
