Phillies Injury Updates: Bohm, Sosa could be back for Brewers series

The Latest Phillies Injury Updates

• Alec Bohm (left hand strain)
• Status: 10-day IL; On rehab assignment with Lehigh Valley
• After six days of keeping him on the active roster with the belief he wouldn’t need an injured list stint, the Phillies placed Bohm on the 10-day IL with a left hand strain Friday. The move is retroactive to Sept. 3, as the maximum you can backdate an IL stint is three days. Infielder Buddy Kennedy has been recalled.
• Bohm will begin a rehab assignment on Sept. 14 with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Bohm will play all nine innings at third on Saturday and DH on Sunday. He could be activated during the Brewers series. (Updated by Destiny Lugardo on Sept. 14)

• Edmundo Sosa (back spasms)
• Status: 10-day IL; On rehab assignment with Lehigh Valley
• Edmundo Sosa was placed on the 10-day IL with back spasms prior to the Sunday, Sept. 8 game against the Marlins. The move is retroactive to Sept. 7.
• Sosa, along with Bohm, will begin a rehab assignment with Lehigh Valley on Sept. 14. He will play second base on Saturday and either second or shortstop on Sunday. He is eligible to be activated on Tuesday against the Brewers. (Last Updated by Destiny Lugardo on Sept. 14)

• Austin Hays (kidney infection)
• Status: 10-day IL
• Hays was placed on the 10-day IL (retroactive to Sept. 2) on Sept. 5 with a kidney infection. Cal Stevenson was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take his spot on the roster.
• Hays still hasn’t hit yet, but he continues to throw. He’s feeling better, according to Rob Thomson. On if he expects Hays to return before the end of the regular season, Thomson said, “Possibly.”
• Thomson was asked to clarify his comment on Hays “possibly” being ready to return before the end of the regular season: “My sense is that one day he’s going to wake up and it’s going to be gone,” Thomson said. “The antibiotics work and it’s all out of his system. It hasn’t happened yet. Now, he is feeling a little bit better every day, but there’s still some fatigue there. You know, he hasn’t really done anything for a couple weeks. He’s probably lost some weight and some strength. Gotta get that back, too.” (Updated by Destiny Lugardo on Sept. 14)

• Spencer Turnbull (right lat strain)
• Status: 60-day injured list
• Turnbull last pitched in a game on June 26 at Detroit. He experienced a setback in mid-August, but is now trying to ramp up in an attempt to make a 2024 comeback as a reliever. He is currently rehabbing at the complex in Clearwater, Fla.
• Turnbull threw his first live batting practice since the injury on Sept. 13. The next step is to throw another one on Monday. Thomson said he threw around 30 pitches and touched 92 mph on the radar gun.
• Is he running out of time? “I don’t think so,” Thomson said on Sept. 10. “We’ll keep moving forward.” The next steps include more live batting practice sessions, simulated games and a rehab assignment. (Last updated by Destiny Lugardo on Sept. 13)

• Andrew Painter (Tommy John surgery)
• Status: Minor league 60-day injured list; Expected back in 2025
• The No. 1 overall prospect in the Phillies’ minor league system underwent Tommy John surgery on July 25, 2023.
