Bohm (ribs) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Bohm was placed on the 10-day injured list July 19 due to a left rib fracture but has made enough progress in his recovery to test himself in a game setting. He'll likely need at least a few games in the minors to regain his timing at the plate, but he could be ready to rejoin the Philadelphia lineup by next weekend. While Bohm has been on the shelf, Otto Kemp and Edmundo Sosa have been sharing time at third base.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Participates in baseball activities
Rotowire
Bohm (ribs) took dry swings, hit off a practice tee and fielded groundballs prior to Tuesday's game against the White Sox, per MLB.com.
Bohm also ran and threw among the other baseball activities, which is an encouraging sign in his recovery from a fractured left rib. The corner infielder remains without a definitive timetable for a return to Philadelphia's roster, but it's possible his absence will extend into mid-August. In the meantime, Otto Kemp should continue to serve as the Phillies' primary third baseman.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Phillies placed Bohm on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a fractured left rib.
Bohm took a pitch off his ribcage last Saturday, which caused him to miss the final game before the All-Star break. He attempted to play through it Friday, but imaging revealed a fracture after the game, so he'll now spend time on the IL while Otto Kemp fills in as Philadelphia's third baseman. Weston Wilson was recalled from Triple-A to replenish the Phillies' infield depth.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Bohm (ribs) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
As expected, Bohm won't start in the Phillies' final game before the All-Star break after he was lifted from Saturday's 5-4 loss in the fourth inning, two innings after he was hit on the left rib cage by a pitch. According to Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Bohm wasn't sent in for an X-rays after team trainers determined that he avoided a fracture, but the 28-year-old is still dealing with some residual soreness and bruising on his rib. Manager Rob Thomson didn't rule out the possibility of Bohm making a pinch-hitting appearance Sunday, though the Phillies would probably prefer to stay away from using him. Edmundo Sosa will fill in for Bohm at third base.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said after Saturday's 5-4 loss to San Diego that Bohm (ribs) is doubtful to play in Sunday's series finale, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Bohm was hit by a pitch in the left ribs during the second inning Saturday, though he was able to stay in the game for another two frames. Thomson said after the contest that Bohm didn't get an MRI, but he explained that Bohm is "pretty sore," adding that the injury may have affected the third baseman's swing. Sunday is the final game of the first half for Philadelphia, so if Bohm sits out, he'll have five full days to recover before the start of the second half Friday. Edmundo Sosa took over at third base following Bohm's exit and could start at the hot corner Sunday.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Exits game with bruised rib
Rotowire
Bohm was pulled from Saturday's contest against San Diego due to a bruised left rib, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Bohm was plunked by a pitch in the ribs in the second inning but initially remained in the contest, and he even rounded the bases to score in that frame. He had another at-bat in the third but was replaced defensively by Edmundo Sosa in the bottom of the fourth frame. Given that he wasn't yanked immediately, Bohm may not be dealing with a major injury, though the Phillies could opt to hold him out of the lineup Sunday to give him ample time to recover given that it's the final game before the All-Star break.
