Bryson Stott returned to his position at shortstop for the first time since Game 6 of the 2022 World Series in today's game against the San Francisco Giants. The game, held on May 6, 2024, at 4:05 PM on NBCSP/94WIP, featured Stott making a significant defensive play with a sliding stop that initiated a double play in the first inning. This marks a notable shift as Stott has not played shortstop regularly for nearly two years. His return to the position comes while Trea Turner is sidelined for over six weeks due to a hamstring injury. The Phillies' lineup also included Schwarber as DH, Realmuto, Harper, Bohm, Marsh, Castellanos, Merrifield, and Rojas, with Wheeler as the starting pitcher. Coverage started at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBCSP.
