Aug 31, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Philadelphia Phillies infielder Bryson Stott rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run in the second inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Philadelphia Phillies infielder Bryson Stott was scratched from Friday's lineup shortly before first pitch against the visiting Atlanta Braves due to a personal matter.
The Phillies didn't immediately provide a reason for Stott's removal. However, Stott and his wife, Dru, announced in May that Dru would be giving birth to a girl in September.
Stott was slated to bat seventh and play third base. Edmundo Sosa moved from left field to third and Bryan De La Cruz started in left and batted seventh against Braves starter Chris Sale.
Stott, 28, is batting .255 with 10 homers, 61 RBIs and 24 stolen bases in 134 games this season. Over five seasons, he has a .256 average, 59 homers, 295 RBIs and 123 steals in 707 games.
