The Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Bryson Stott is having a challenging season, grappling with a nerve injury to his right elbow that has severely affected his performance. Despite playing in 148 games, his batting average has dipped to .236, along with a .629 OPS, marking a stark contrast to his 2023 stats where he posted a .245 average and a .671 OPS. While his power numbers remain consistent, Stott's strikeout rate has increased significantly, raising concerns about his ability to contribute effectively at the plate.

Nonetheless, Stott's defensive skills and speed are still invaluable, as he has already demonstrated solid defensive metrics and is on pace for his third consecutive season with over 30 stolen bases. If Stott's injury persists, Edmundo Sosa is expected to fill in as the starting second baseman, though his initial performance this season has cooled after a strong start.
