Phillies Make Bryson Stott Announcement After Leaving Cardinals Game

Unfortunately, Stott suffered an injury during Sunday’s matchup with the St. Louis Cardinals. In the top of the eighth inning he was unexpectedly removed from the game, with Arraez coming off the bench to take over at second base. Moments later, the Phillies announced the reason for his early exit.

“Bryson Stott has a bruised right foot, Phillies said. Luis Arraez is at second,” reported Ty Daubert of Phillies Nation.

It is unclear when Stott suffered the injury, but it was significant enough that he could not finish the game.

The timing is particularly concerning given that Arraez, who stepped in to replace him, has also been dealing with cramps and was expected to get the full day off. Having both players compromised at the same time is far from ideal for a Phillies team in the middle of one of its best stretches of the season.

The hope is that Stott’s injury is not serious enough to land him on the 10-day injured list, especially considering how well he has performed recently. His next chance to return to the starting lineup will come on Monday with the Phillies heading to Seattle to face the Mariners.
