Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Edmundo Sosa is a versatile utility infielder for the Philadelphia Phillies who is getting an extended look at multiple positions in 2026. After starting four consecutive games and going 3-for-15, he was benched briefly but has since returned to action. He hit a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning against the Athletics on May 7, 2026, helping the Phillies to a 6-3 comeback victory. Sosa has also been given opportunities in left field, making his second career outfield start on May 9, 2026. He entered the season batting .254 with a .635 OPS in 21 games but improved to .278 with a .692 OPS in 56 plate appearances. Interim manager Don Mattingly is giving Sosa an extended look as a potential solution at third base and in the outfield, particularly against left-handed pitchers. Sosa was a strong defender in 2025 (+9 defensive runs saved) and is in a walk year with the team.
