NEW YORK -- Slumping third baseman Alec Bohm will be back in the Philadelphia Phillies' starting lineup Tuesday against the New York Mets in Game 3 of their NL Division Series at Citi Field.
Bohm, an All-Star this season, was benched Sunday in Game 2 at home in favor of Edmundo Sosa, who went 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Bohm popped out as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, stayed in to play defense and also finished 0-for-2.
Philadelphia rallied late for a 7-6 victory that evened the best-of-five series at one game apiece.
The NL East champion Phillies worked out Monday in Queens, and manager Rob Thomson said Bohm will start against Mets left-hander Sean Manaea.
"Oh yeah, he's playing tomorrow. I think he's in a good spot. He was just in there hitting in the cages and getting his work in. I'm not sure if he's going to hit on the field today or not. But, yeah, I think he's fine," Thomson said.
