The Philadelphia Phillies reinstated infielder Edmundo Sosa from his rehab stint with Triple-A Lehigh Valley and activated him from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.
Sosa was inserted into the Phillies’ lineup that night, playing third base and batting eighth against the Milwaukee Brewers in a matchup of National League division leaders.
The 28-year-old had been out since September 6 due to back spasms. This season, Sosa has appeared in 83 games, hitting .264 with seven home runs, four triples, and 30 RBIs, matching his career highs for triples and RBIs.
Over 389 career games with the St. Louis Cardinals (2018-19, 2021-22) and the Phillies (2022-24), Sosa has a .255 career batting average with 25 home runs and 108 RBIs. He has played every position except pitcher, catcher, first base, and right field in his MLB career, primarily focusing on shortstop, third base, and second base this season.
In a corresponding move, the Phillies optioned infielder Buddy Kennedy to Triple-A. Kennedy, 25, had appeared in seven games for Philadelphia this month after being acquired off waivers from the Detroit Tigers, where he went 2-for-10 with two RBIs for the Phillies.
