Bryson Stott Draws Into Phillies Lineup Friday
Bryson Stott is back in the lineup for Game 3 of the NLCS against the San Diego Padres on Friday. Stott and Edmundo Sosa have formed a platoon at shortstop for the Phils, with the former facing righties. So far this postseason, Stott has struggled, going 2-for-19 with no homers and just two RBI. Sosa has as many hits as Stott in just four at-bats, and there is a chance some adjustments in playing time are made should Stott continue to falter. For now, though, the platoon remains.

Bryson Stott Out Against Southpaw On Wednesday
Bryson Stott is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival New York Mets with a left-hander on the mound. Edmundo Sosa will take over at second base and will hit seventh against Mets lefty David Peterson. Stott is hitting a cool .301 (25-for-83) with two homers, 13 RBI and four stolen bases in 21 games so far in 2025, but he's gone just 4-for-21 with two walks and five strikeouts against left-handed pitching. Sosa may not have a ton of fantasy upside for DFS purposes in the seven-hole for the Phillies, but fantasy managers shouldn't completely ignore him. The 29-year-old infielder has gone 12-for-29 (.414) in the early going as a backup with eight RBI and four runs scored. In his two career at-bats against Peterson, he has a hit and one RBI.

Bryson Stott Hits Three-Run Home Run On Monday
Bryson Stott had a productive game in a 5-4 loss to the New York Mets on Monday. Stott went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in the close loss. He made things interesting in the ninth, ripping a three-run homer off New York closer Edwin Diaz but the Phillies ultimately fell one run short of tying the game. Stott is now hitting .295 with two homers, 12 runs, 13 RBI, and four steals across 78 at-bats this season. With a pair of 30-steal seasons under his belt, Stott has emerged as a quality speed threat in fantasy leagues.

Bryson Stott Hitting Leadoff On Monday
Bryson Stott is at second base and is batting leadoff for Monday's series opener against the visiting San Francisco Giants and right-hander Landon Roupp at Citizens Bank Park. Stott has fared well against right-handed pitchers this year and will make his third straight start in the leadoff spot against a righty as a result. Overall, he's hitting a modest .250 (12-for-48) on the year with a homer, three doubles, six RBI, one stolen base, five runs scored, five walks and 14 strikeouts in 13 games played for the Phillies. Before his recent move to the top of the batting order, Stott had been in the eight-hole most days, so if this new lineup arrangement sticks, it will be a notable boost to his fantasy value. None of the Phillies hitters on Monday have faced Roupp in their careers.

Bryson Stott, Max Kepler Out Against Lefty
Bryson Stott and outfielder Max Kepler are not in the starting lineup on Sunday when they face St. Louis southpaw Matthew Liberatore. Stott has only made three starts against southpaws throughout the early part of the campaign. Over his previous four contests, Stott has posted a .250/.333/.313 line. Fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old Stott to return to the starting nine on Monday when he faces San Francisco right-hander Landen Roupp. Kepler has only made two starts this season against left-handed pitching. As a result, Edmundo Sosa will cover the keystone, and Johan Rojas will take a spot in the outfield. The Phillies' offense is worth targeting in DFS this afternoon, facing Liberatore, who enters Sunday with a hefty 5.84 ERA.
