Edmundo Sosa Starts in Outfield, Shines for Phillies

In a thrilling matchup against the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies utility player Edmundo Sosa made his first career start in left field, showcasing remarkable talent by robbing Marcell Ozuna of a home run in the first inning. Sosa, who has predominantly played infield positions, has been a standout this season, hitting .550 in his first six games. His versatility was on full display as he has played five different positions already this year, filling in for injured starters. The Phillies, while currently 7-3, are managing injuries, particularly with Weston Wilson on the 10-day IL, who has begun his rehab assignment. Manager Rob Thomson noted that Sosa's outfield skills are still developing, and though he is considered an average fielder, his recent performance has raised expectations. The Phillies are looking to maximize Sosa's contributions as they navigate their early season challenges.
