**Philadelphia, PA** – The Philadelphia Phillies have welcomed back their star third baseman Alec Bohm, bolstering their lineup as they close in on the National League East title. Bohm, who missed time with a wrist injury suffered in August, returned to the active roster after completing a minor league rehab assignment.
The 28-year-old Bohm has had a breakout season, putting up a .290/.343/.462 slash line with 13 home runs in 131 games. His return is a welcomed boost for the Phillies, who have struggled at the third base position in his absence.
Bohm’s return comes at a crucial time for the Phillies. They currently hold an eight-game lead in the NL East, putting them on the cusp of clinching their first division title since 2011. The Phillies have been playoff contenders in recent years, but the Atlanta Braves had dominated the division, winning the last six NL East titles. However, injuries have plagued the Braves this season, allowing the Phillies to seize their opportunity.
With Bohm back in the lineup, the Phillies are poised to secure a division title and potentially earn a first-round bye in the playoffs.
