In a surprising decision, Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson benched All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm for Game 2 of the NLDS against the New York Mets, opting for Edmundo Sosa to inject energy into the lineup.

Thomson acknowledged Bohm's struggles, particularly after a hand injury, and emphasized the need for a boost following a disappointing Game 1. Sosa, known for his defensive skills, will hit seventh as the Phillies aim to rebound from their earlier loss.
