Phillies’ Stott Hyperextends Elbow, Raises Concern After Last Year’s Lingering Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The up-and-down season for Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott continues.
Here is the latest from Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer:
Stott’s 2024 campaign was largely hindered by a nerve injury in his right elbow. He still played in 148 games, but saw a significant drop-off at the plate compared to his 2023 efforts. Last season, Stott had a .245 batting average, a .671 OPS, and an 86 OPS+. The year before, he had a .280 batting average, a .747 OPS, and a 103 OPS+.

Those are not the most mind-blowing numbers, but Stott is also a second baseman who contributes much more than quality at-bats. Both his speed and defense have been weapons for the Phillies during his tenure, and 2025 has been no different.
Stott already has a +3 Defensive Run Value and looks well-positioned to record his third consecutive 30+ steals performance (31 in 2023, 32 in 2024, 11 so far in 2025).
However, Stott is also batting just .236 with an underwhelming .629 OPS and a 74 OPS+. His four home runs are about on track with his career output, although a 22:47 BB:K ratio is a touch high for the 27-year-old.
Assuming Stott misses a game or two, Edmundo Sosa should take over at the four. The career utility man has come back down to earth after a scorching hot start to the season. But, he still has a respectable (for a bench player) .274 batting average, a .678 OPS, and an 89 OPS+ over 95 at-bats.
Hopefully for the Phillies, this Stott issue does not linger last time.
