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 Hits Three-Run Home Run On Monday
1 day agoPhiladelphia Phillies second baseman 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, Max Kepler Out Against Lefty
1 week agoPhiladelphia Phillies second baseman 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.

Bryson Stott Dealt With Elbow Injury Last Year
2 months agoMLB.com's Todd Zolecki writes that Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott played through an injured elbow in 2024, which the team thinks hindered his swing at the plate. Stott hit .280/.329/.419 with 15 homers, 62 RBI and 31 stolen bases in 151 games in 2023 before slashing .245/.315/.356 with 11 homers, 57 RBI and 32 stolen bases in 148 games last season. If his elbow injury is a thing of the past in 2025, the 27-year-old middle infielder could be in for a bounce-back campaign offensively. Stott still made plenty of contact in 2024, but most of it was weak contact, which once again could have been related to his elbow injury. The good news is that even if Stott doesn't bounce back closer to his 2023 levels with the lumber, he should still be very useful in terms of his speed. RotoBaller has Stott ranked as the No. 14 fantasy second baseman.

Bryson Stott, Brandon Marsh Out In Game 3 Versus Lefty
7 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott and outfielder Brandon Marsh are both out of the Game 3 lineup on Tuesday in the National League Division Series at Citi Field with a left-hander on the mound for the New York Mets. Edmundo Sosa will make the start at the keystone and bat eighth, while Austin Hays makes the start in left field and will hit seventh against Mets left-hander Sean Manaea. Stott had a big role in the Game 2 win on Sunday, hitting a two-run triple, but he'll take a seat with a lefty starting. Sosa has gone 4-for-8 in his career against Manaea with a homer, triple, double, three RBI and two strikeouts, so he'll be an intriguing DFS sleeper for Tuesday's games. Hays has only faced Manaea three times, but he does have two hits (one homer) and an RBI against him.
