Phillies' Bryson Stott: Dealing with bruised foot
Rotowire
Stott left Sunday's game against the Cardinals in the eighth inning due to a right foot contusion, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Stott sustained the injury when he fouled a ball off the side of his foot in the sixth inning, but he remained in the game for the seventh before being pulled. X-rays on his foot were negative following the contest, and the Phillies will re-evaluate the infielder ahead of Monday's series opener in Seattle. Edmundo Sosa could draw the spot start at third base if Stott, who has taken over as Philadelphia's primary third baseman since the acquisition of Luis Arraez (hamstring) at the trade deadline, needs a day off to heal.

Stott will carry a four-game hitting streak into Wednesday's contest and has been sizzling at the dish throughout August, slashing .424/.587/.545 with four doubles, five stolen bases, 13 walks, seven runs and four RBI in 11 contests. He'll also be making his ninth consecutive start at third base, where he'll continue to see most of his reps moving forward after the Phillies acquired Luis Arraez last week and installed him as their everyday second baseman. Stott looks poised to head into 2027 carrying eligibility at both second and third base in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Adds two walks, stolen base in rout
Rotowire
Stott went 1-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Yankees.
That's now three straight games with at least one hit for Stott, although he's struggled mightily as a whole since the start of May. The middle infielder is slashing a woeful .203/.275/.299 with five home runs, seven doubles and 26 RBI over his last 257 plate appearances (66 outings), but he's at least stolen nine bases during this span. Stott had worked his way into Philadelphia's leadoff spot consistently from mid-April to early June, though he hasn't hit first since June 8 and is unlikely to regain that position unless he really begins to heat up at the dish.
