Bohm could slide over to first base if the Phillies lose Rhys Hoskins (knee) for an extended period, Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Hoskins had to be carted off the field in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers after his left knee gave out on a play beyond the first base. The injury looked ugly, though there is no diagnosis just yet. Bohm moving to first makes sense, and Edmundo Sosa would probably then shift from a super-utility role to a regular presence at the hot corner. Darick Hall should also be in the first base picture, especially against tougher right-handed pitching opponents.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Hitting with authority this spring
Rotowire
Bohm has slugged three home runs and three doubles through 35 at-bats this spring in Grapefruit League play.
Bohm ranks in the top 15 in OPS (.971) across the combined Grapefruit League and Cactus League leaderboards. The 26-year-old third baseman had a rollercoaster season at the plate in 2022, but he put together a couple of encouraging stretches and came up with some big hits during the Phillies' postseason run to the World Series. Consequently, the 2023 season could potentially qualify as a breakout campaign.

Rotowire
Bohm went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk during Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Astros in Game 3 of the World Series.

Bohm is now hitting .208 with eight RBI in the postseason across 48 at-bats. The young third baseman will look to keep his power surge going Wednesday night in Game 4 of the World Series.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Finds home in No. 5 spot
Rotowire
Bohm will start at third base and bat fifth Monday against the Astros.
Bohm had primarily served as the Phillies' No. 3 batter coming out of the All-Star break, but he's largely batted out of the No. 5 spot over the past three weeks, with Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto jumping him in the order. The 26-year-old could be in line for an off day Tuesday or Wednesday if the Phillies are able to clinch a wild-card spot Monday with a win or a Brewers loss to the Diamondbacks.

Rotowire
Bohm went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's loss against the Marlins.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Racks up three hits
Rotowire
Bohm went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Giants.
Bohm knocked three singles for his fourth multi-hit effort in his last six games. He's gone 10-for-28 (.357) with just two RBI and six runs scored in that span, but only one of those hits, a double, has gone for extra bases. The third baseman has surged to a .295/.328/.407 slash line with 10 home runs, 61 RBI, 70 runs scored and a stolen base through 125 contests this year, which makes his lackluster 2021 look like a simple sophomore slump.
After a rough start to August, Bohm is back to piling up multi-hit games. He's also hitting .352 against lefties this year, and the Phillies have three of those on the schedule, including mashables like Madison Bumgarner and Tommy Henry.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Homers twice, drives in six
Rotowire
Bohm went 3-for-5 with two home runs and six RBI during Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Mets.
Bohm opened the scoring with a three-run shot in the first inning and added another three-run homer in the fourth, both off of starter Jose Butto. The 26-year-old snapped a 15-game homerless drought and is now up to 10 long balls on the year. After posting a .902 OPS in his last 37 games before the start of August, Bohm was slashing just .208/.247/.292 through 18 games this month before Sunday's big performance.

Since June 24, Bohm has failed to record a hit in just three of his 31 contests, with the 26-year-old batting an incredible .393 over that stretch while scoring 22 runs and driving in 19.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Possible waiver wire pickups
Rotowire
With a stretch of seven multi-hit games in eight, capped by a 4-for-5 performance Sunday, Bohm has brought his season-long batting average up to nearly .300. Take it back to 36 games, and he's batting .378 (54 for 143). The problem is that it's still mostly devoid of power. He has just three home runs during that stretch and only a .140 ISO. Still, the exit velocity is fine, and he's elevating much better than a year ago. He did have both a double and a home run Sunday, which offers some reason for hope. Given the shortage of viable third basemen in Fantasy, it's probably worth taking a shot at this point and just hoping the power comes around.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Possible waiver wire pickups
Rotowire
I can't explain what exactly has gotten into Bohm, but with his fourth straight multi-hit game Wednesday, he's suckering us into believing again. He's now batting .488 (20 for 41) during a 12-game hitting streak and .371 (46 for 124) in 32 games since mid-June. Of course, he has all of two home runs during that time, walking only four times and of course stealing no bases. That's about as hollow as a batting average gets. His average exit velocity and launch angle also haven't improved during that time, but then again, neither was so bad to begin with. I wouldn't say I'm eager to pick up the enigmatic 25-year-old, but at a position like third base, sometimes you just have to ride the hot hand.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Sporting hot bat out of break
Rotowire
Bohm went 2-for-4 with a pair of base hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Atlanta.
The 25-year-old will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's series finale, taking an 11-game hitting streak into the contest. That impressive stretch was preceded by a 12-game one that began June 21 and lasted until July 5, enabling him to maintain an outstanding .393 average for nearly five weeks. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Bohm's elite batting average hasn't translated to major counting-stats production; he's managed only two home runs, no stolen bases, 13 runs and 12 RBI between the two double-digit hitting streaks.
