Stott went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Padres.
Stott is off to a quiet start in July, going 5-for-30 (.167) with three walks over nine games to begin the month. His theft Sunday was his first of the month and his 14th of the year on 17 chances, which is a bit of a decline after he posted back-to-back 30-steal campaigns the last two seasons. The 27-year-old has added a .234/.303/.333 slash line with six home runs, 38 RBI, 38 runs scored, nine doubles and two triples over 86 contests.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Smacks clutch home run
Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and a pair of walks in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Reds.
Stott's homer, his sixth of the season, proved to be the decisive blow in the win -- the second baseman drove a two-strike pitch from Tony Santillan 405 feet over the right-field fence to put the Phillies ahead in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old Stott had been slumping coming into the day, going just 2-for-20 over his previous six contests. Overall, he's slashing .238/.310/.340 with 37 runs scored, 37 RBI and 13 stolen bases across 327 plate appearances this year.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Pilfers 13th bag
Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-3 with a steal, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 4-0 win versus the Padres.
Stott swiped his second base of the month when he took second off San Diego starter Matt Waldron in the fourth. June was tough for the Philadelphia second baseman, as he entered this contest with an anemic .210/.289/.272 slash line over 90 plate appearances. Perhaps this stolen base, his first since June 18, can kickstart Stott, who now sports a .244 average, five homers, 36 runs scored and 35 RBI while going 13-for-16 on steal attempts across 77 games.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Dealing with hyperextended elbow
Rotowire
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Stott suffered a hyperextended elbow on a swing during Monday's 5-2 win over the Marlins, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Thomson added that Stott could sit out Tuesday's contest, but the Phillies' second baseman doesn't appear to be dealing with a long-term injury concern. Stott went 1-for-4 with a double in Monday's contest and is slashing .236/.300/.329 with four home runs, 27 RBI, 31 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 271 plate appearances on the season.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Slump deepens in blowout loss
Rotowire
Stott went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 9-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
It's becoming a deep slump for Stott, who struck out multiple times Thursday for the first time since May 10. Across his last 29 games (112 at-bats), the speedy middle infielder is hitting just .196 with two home runs, two doubles, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored. The lefty-hitting Stott's playing time doesn't appear to be in any kind of immediate danger -- backup second baseman Edmundo Sosa has a .562 OPS versus righties in 2025 -- but it wouldn't be surprising if the Phillies considered moving him down the lineup until he can get back on track.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Goes yard in three-hit attack
Rotowire
Stott went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Rays.
Stott snapped a 13-game homerless drought, ripping multiple extra-base hits for just the second time this season. The middle infielder has settled in as Philadelphia's leadoff batter, having now hit first in 20 games this year, but his splits should continue to render him an inconsistent fantasy option. The lefty-hitting Stott is batting just .200 with a .584 OPS through 25 at-bats against left-handed pitching, but he's hitting .295 with an .816 OPS across 105 at-bats versus righties.
