The Phillies announced this morning that theyve activated third baseman from the 10-day injured list. Catcher was designated for a Chris Bosh Jersey signment to make room for Bohm on the clubs active roster. Bohm was to return to action later this week but will now join the team ahead of schedule, batting fifth in todays starting lineup. Bohm, 28, has been on the injured list for just over two weeks due to a hand strain. The third baseman has enjoyed something of a breakout season this year, slashing .290/.343/.462 with a 122 wRC+ that stands as the best of his career over a full season. Hes also made major strides defensively at third base, developing from a fringe defender at the position (+1 Outs Above Average, -9 Defensive Runs Saved) in 2023 to a well above average glove (+6 Outs Above Average, +1 Defensive Runs Saved) at the hot corner this year. In all, Bohms steps forward on both sides of the ball this year have made him the fourth most valuable third baseman in the sport by fWAR in 2024 behind only , , and . As the Phillies wrap up the regular season with an eye toward their third consecutive playoff appearance, the club is surely hoping that Bohm will be at full strength going forward. The infielder began to slump a bit in the weeks leading up to his placement on the injured list, with a lackluster .232/.283/.304 slash line over his final 15 games before being placed on the shelf. With that said, even a somewhat diminished version of Bohm would be a substantial improvement for the Phillies going forward, as an injury to shortly after Bohms own injury left the club to cobble together a solution at third base between , , and . That experiment hasnt gone over well, as that trio has slashed a collective .107/.167/.143 since Sosa was placed on the IL earlier this month. As for Garcia, the 31-year-old has participated in parts of five big league seasons since making his MLB debut with the Giants back in 2018, primarily acting as a reserve catcher who fills in for clubs facing injuries. His longest stint in the majors was with the Reds back in 2022, when he hit a lackluster .213/.248/.259 in 115 trips to the plate acro s 47 games. Overall, Garcia is a career .211/.248/.325 hitter in the majors. He was added to the Phillies roster last week to provide some depth behind while was out of commi sion due to a day-to-day injury. Realmuto has returned to the lineup in recent days, however, rendering Garcias continued presence on the roster unnece sary. Chris Boucher Jersey
