"Bohm returns after a minimal stint, as his retroactive IL placement date was September 8. A left shoulder cyst was the cause of Bohm's absence, as he had to have the cyst drained and treated in order to correct the discomfort in his non-throwing arm. The issue wasn't seen as serious, so taking 10 days to fix the problem now gives Bohm some time to get back to action and get ramped up in advance of the playoffs."
"Over 464 plate appearances this season, Bohm has hit .272/.319/.384 with nine home runs, translating to a subpar 94 wRC+. It has been a up-and-down season for the third baseman, with injuries have been the story of his second half. Between a fractured rib and his shoulder cyst, Bohm has been limited to just 20 games since the All-Star break, and he has hit only .231/.282/.333 over 85 PA during those 20 games."
The Phillies activated third baseman Alec Bohm off the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder Rafael Lantigua to Triple-A. The club outrighted outfielder Brewer Hicklen to Triple-A after he cleared waivers. Bohm's retroactive IL placement date was September 8 due to a left shoulder cyst that required drainage and treatment to relieve discomfort in his non-throwing arm. Bohm has compiled a .272/.319/.384 line with nine home runs and a 94 wRC+ over 464 plate appearances. Injuries, including a fractured rib and the shoulder cyst, have limited him to 20 games since the All-Star break. The Phillies have clinched the NL East and are likely to receive a first-round bye, giving the club extra time to get healthy. Lantigua received a brief call to the majors but did not appear in a game and will return to Lehigh Valley without an official MLB debut. Brewers DFA'ed Hicklen on Opening Day and then traded him to the Tigers a day later; Hicklen was DFA'ed three times this season with different teams.
