Alec Bohm Placed on 10-Day Injured List with Fractured Left Rib
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm has been placed on the 10-day injured list after being diagnosed with a fractured left rib. The injury originated a week ago when he was hit by a pitch from San Diego's Yu Darvish, causing him to miss a game before the All-Star break, and was further aggravated during his last at-bat in Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Prior to the IL stint, Bohm was batting .278 with eight home runs and 42 RBIs in 92 games this season, including a strong .304 average over his last 64 games. Utility player Weston Wilson has been recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and the Phillies plan to use multiple players at third base in Bohm's absence.
