Alec Bohm, Kody Clemens To Share 1B Playing Time

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that infielder Kody Clemens will be the team's first baseman against right-handed pitchers with Darick Hall (thumb) unlikely to return until later this season due to a torn ligament in his thumb that requires surgery.

Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Gunnar Henderson (hand) was out of the starting lineup on Tuesday because he's dealing with a sore right hand from a play on Monday night after it swelled up on him a little bit during the game, according to manager Brandon Hyde.
