2024 Fantasy Outlook
If the Phillies expected a notable step forward from Sosa last season in his first full year with the team, they would have been disappointed, though that's not to say he had a bad year. At this point, there's little reason to believe he'll suddenly become anything more than a utility infielder, but even good teams need bench players, and he clears that bar comfortably enough. His .251/.293/.427 slash line was good for a below-average 92 wRC+, but that's a perfectly palatable mark for a player who can defend competently at second, third or shortstop. Sosa's 10 homers and four steals suggest he has the potential for 20 and 10 if he ever earns full-time work, but that's unlikely to happen while he remains in Philadelphia. Even if injuries were to open up unexpected playing time, Sosa has never demonstrated the power (career 31.4 percent hard hit rate) or patience (career 3.9 percent walk rate) that hint at his bat taking a leap forward.

Lands on injured list
The Phillies placed Sosa on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to back spasms.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old had seen an uptick in playing time after Alec Bohm (hand) landed on the IL, but Sosa is now dealing with his own injury. It's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined, but Sosa will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 17.

Stat Review
How does Edmundo Sosa compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2016
Sosa looked at least moderately interesting heading into last season, as he'd posted a 104 wRC+ in 326 plate appearances in 2021 while playing strong defense. He wasn't able to secure regular playing time in St. Louis, however, and his .189/.244/.270 slash line in 53 games of sporadic playing time hardly made the case for a larger role. The defensively-challenged Phillies still saw value in him as a bench option, acquiring him in late July. Sosa went on to hit .315/.345/.593 for his new team, but that came in just 59 plate appearances. Altogether, he finished the season with an 82 wRC+ while filling a bench role, and little in his underlying numbers suggests he deserved much more. His combination of a 26.3 K% and 2.6 BB% represents very poor plate discipline, and a 5.5% barrel rate means his contact quality wasn't good, either. Sosa should remain a capable role player going forward thanks to his defense, but that role brings minimal fantasy relevance.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Competition for utility job
Sosa's bench role with the Phillies is likely to be reduced following the signing of Whit Merrifield, which was reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Sosa appeared in line to be Philadelphia's primary backup at second base, third base and shortstop, but second base is one of the main positions for the versatile Merrifield. Sosa should be able to retain his roster spot after he posted a .720 OPS in 299 plate appearances last season, but he may not reach that workload again without a rash of injuries.
