Stott is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
The left-handed-hitting Stott started Saturday's game against lefty spot starter Jacob Latz, but he's now been on the bench two days in a row as the Phillies face a third straight lefty. Edmundo Sosa is handling second base again Monday and looks to be the short-side platoon partner with Stott.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Getting day off versus lefty
Rotowire
Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
After going 2-for-6 with a walk and a stolen base while starting in the Phillies' first two contests of the season, the left-handed-hitting Stott will hit the bench while the Rangers send southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the bump. Edmundo Sosa will fill in for Stott at the keystone.
Stott went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.
Stott swatted his first homer of the spring while reaching base safely three times. The 28-year-old middle infielder is lined up as Philadelphia's primary second baseman to begin 2026 but is likely to sit in favor of Edmundo Sosa versus left-handed pitching. It remains to been seen where Stott will hit most frequently in the Phillies' batting order, but fantasy managers should expect him to slot somewhere into the lower half of the lineup to open the new year.
The Phillies and Stott avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $5.9 million contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Stott slashed .257/.328/.391 with 13 homers and 24 steals across 147 regular-season contests in 2025. He'll open the 2026 campaign as the Phillies' primary second baseman and will have one more year of arbitration eligibility next offseason.
Stott went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
With Trea Turner (hamstring) and Edmundo Sosa (groin) both on the injured list, Stott has started each of Philadelphia's last eight games to help pick up the slack. Stott had a weak .645 OPS through July 30, but he's fared far better at the dish ever since. Over his last 150 plate appearances, he's slashing .321/.393/.519 with 15 extra-base hits, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and seven stolen bases to raise his OPS to .719 for the year.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Snaps long homer drought in win
Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Seattle.
Stott clubbed his eighth homer of the year and his first since July 23 versus Boston. The speedy infielder hasn't led off for the Phillies since early June, but he's finally beginning to gain some momentum in August as he tries to climb his way back up the batting order. Through his first 43 at-bats of the month, Stott is hitting .326 with four doubles, eight RBI, nine runs scored and four steals.
