Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that Bohm is still experiencing some soreness in his left hamstring and won't come off the injured list Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Instead, Bohm will test his hamstring in a team workout. It sounds like the 26-year-old corner infielder should be ready to return by early next week and possibly as early as Sunday.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Hopes to return when eligible
Rotowire
Bohm (hamstring) told reporters Monday that he believes he can return from the injured list when first eligible Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Bohm landed on the IL in late May with what was described as a mild left hamstring strain but seems to be experiencing improvement. It's not clear whether the 26-year-old might require a short rehab assignment before being activated. Bohm has put up a .724 OPS with six long balls in 53 games this season.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Lands on IL with strained hamstring
Rotowire
The Phillies placed Bohm on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a strained left hamstring, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Bohm first hurt his hamstring this past weekend, tried to return and then aggravated the issue. Phillies manager Rob Thomson has termed the strain as "very mild," so there's a chance the 26-year-old will be ready for activation when first eligible June 10. Edmundo Sosa and Josh Harrison will get a lot of run at third base in the meantime, with Kody Clemens and Drew Ellis playing first base -- at least until Darick Hall (thumb) returns.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: On bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Bohm is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Bohm sat out Sunday's 11-4 loss to Atlanta with left hamstring tightness, but he returned to the lineup at third base for Tuesday's series opener and went 0-for-3 in the 2-0 loss while playing all eight innings in the field. The Phillies haven't indicated that Bohm suffered a setback coming out of that contest, so his absence Wednesday could just be maintenance related.

Rotowire

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Rests in series finale
Rotowire
Bohm is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Bohm's absence from the starting nine in the series finale opens up room at the corner-infield spots for Kody Clemens and Edmundo Sosa, who will start at first and third base, respectively. Unless he's used off the bench, Bohm will put his five-game hitting streak on hold until he likely rejoins the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Rotowire
Bohm went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss against the Giants.

Bohm is producing again this season with a .278/.345/.430 slash line. The biggest difference for Bohm in 2023 is an improved plate discipline, as he is on his way to setting a career high in walks.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Expected to mostly stay at 3B
Rotowire
Bohm will remain the Phillies' primary third baseman rather than shift over to first base following the injury to Darick Hall (thumb), Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Bohm could see some starts at first base against left-handers, but the plan is to mostly leave him at third. Kody Clemens is slated to see the lion's share of starts at first base versus righties and Edmundo Sosa and Josh Harrison should also see an uptick in playing time.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Batting third Tuesday

Bohm is hitting third for the Phillies on Tuesday night against the Yankees.
J.T. Realmuto has the night off, so Bohm gets a boost up the batting order versus the Yankees and right-hander Domingo German. The 26-year-old third baseman has gone 7-for-15 (.467) with one home run and two doubles through four games this season. Darick Hall is playing first base and hitting cleanup Tuesday in the Bronx.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Takes deGrom yard
Rotowire
Bohm went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run, three RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Rangers.
Despite a number of key absences, Bohm was still hitting seventh in the Phillies' Opening Day lineup. Despite that, he played a major role in the team's offensive output as he slugged a two-run home run off Jacob deGrom in the second inning. Three frames later he delivered an RBI single. Bohm took a step forward in his production in 2022, and he'll be looking to make the next leap in his development in the current campaign.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Option to slide over to 1B?
Rotowire
Bohm could slide over to first base if the Phillies lose Rhys Hoskins (knee) for an extended period, Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Hoskins had to be carted off the field in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers after his left knee gave out on a play beyond the first base. The injury looked ugly, though there is no diagnosis just yet. Bohm moving to first makes sense, and Edmundo Sosa would probably then shift from a super-utility role to a regular presence at the hot corner. Darick Hall should also be in the first base picture, especially against tougher right-handed pitching opponents.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Hitting with authority this spring
Rotowire
Bohm has slugged three home runs and three doubles through 35 at-bats this spring in Grapefruit League play.
Bohm ranks in the top 15 in OPS (.971) across the combined Grapefruit League and Cactus League leaderboards. The 26-year-old third baseman had a rollercoaster season at the plate in 2022, but he put together a couple of encouraging stretches and came up with some big hits during the Phillies' postseason run to the World Series. Consequently, the 2023 season could potentially qualify as a breakout campaign.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Finds home in No. 5 spot
Rotowire
Bohm will start at third base and bat fifth Monday against the Astros.
Bohm had primarily served as the Phillies' No. 3 batter coming out of the All-Star break, but he's largely batted out of the No. 5 spot over the past three weeks, with Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto jumping him in the order. The 26-year-old could be in line for an off day Tuesday or Wednesday if the Phillies are able to clinch a wild-card spot Monday with a win or a Brewers loss to the Diamondbacks.
