Rotowire
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Monday that Bohm will be back in the lineup for Game 3 of the NLDS versus the Mets on Tuesday, Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Edmundo Sosa got the start at third base in Game 2, although Bohm pinch hit for him in the seventh inning and wound up with two plate appearances. Bohm is just 2-for-33 over his last nine contests dating back to the tail end of the regular season.
Suarez will start Wednesday in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Mets, Gabriella Galati of 6 ABC in Philadelphia reports.
Suarez held a 5.65 ERA in eight starts after the All-Star break and missed time with a back injury. Phillies manager Rob Thomson no doubt will have a short leash with the left-hander in Game 4. Suarez will be opposed by Jose Quintana.
