Phillies' Bryson Stott: Sitting after 11 straight starts
Rotowire
Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
The Phillies are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (David Peterson) for the first time since June 9, so the lefty-hitting Stott will give up his spot at second base to Edmundo Sosa in the series finale. While starting in each of the previous 11 contests, Stott went 9-for-38 with a home run, two doubles, one stolen base, eight RBI and two runs.

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.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Claiming leadoff spot vs. righties
Rotowire
Stott will start at second base and bat leadoff in Monday's game versus the Giants, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
It's the third straight game that Stott has been in the leadoff spot against a right-handed pitcher, as he's being rewarded for his .400 on-base percentage versus righties so far this season. Considering he had been mostly hitting eighth against right-handed pitching, it's a big boost to Stott's fantasy outlook if the change sticks.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Affected by sore elbow last season
Rotowire
The Phillies believe Stott's offense was limited by elbow soreness last season, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Stott never went on the injured list in 2024, but he evidently dealt with a sore elbow for much of the season that the club believes affected his ability to drive the ball. The numbers back up the theory, as the 27-year-old's regular-season slugging percentage fell from .419 to .356, his home-run total dropped from 15 to 11 and his doubles output dipped from 32 to 19. Stott is expected to be healthy at the start of spring training and could be in line for a bounce-back year at the plate.

Stott has hit safely in eight of his last 11 games, going 12-for-38 (.316) in that span, though just two of those have been multi-hit efforts. The second baseman has also been lacking in terms of run production, as he has just four RBI over 18 contests in August. For the season, he's at a .243/.315/.358 slash line with nine home runs, 47 RBI, 56 runs scored and 25 stolen bases through 118 games. Stott has seen a reduced role versus left-handed pitchers this year, with Edmundo Sosa often taking over at second base against southpaws.
