After playing in an exciting Field of Dreams game on Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> and Minnesota Twins<\/a> are resuming their three-game weekend series on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n The Phillies won the series opener 7-1 on Thursday and will look to win the series on Saturday.<\/p>\n Ahead of the Twins game, the Phillies announced an Alec Bohm<\/a> decision, which seems to be getting attention across social media.<\/p>\n Update: Alec Bohm went 5-for-5 in the Phillies\u2019 win on Saturday with 2 runs scored and 1 RBI.\u00a0<\/p>\n More MLB<\/a> on Heavy: Chicago Cubs Announce Roster Decision on 13-Year MLB Veteran During Cardinals Series<\/a><\/p>\n Alec Bohm Batting Fifth on Saturday GettyPHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA \u2013 AUGUST 5: Keibert Ruiz<\/a> #20 of the Washington Nationals<\/a> reacts in front of Alec Bohm #28 of the Philadelphia Phillies after hitting an RBI single in the top of the first inning at Citizens Bank Park on August 5, 2026 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Luzardo SP<\/p>\n Phillies fans seem to have mixed feelings about the lineup decision by manager Don Mattingly.<\/p>\n @Intimidator21 writes: \u201cPlease stop with the Alec Bohm delusion. He stinks. Period! Batting 5, what a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n Alec Bohm has very notably struggled this season and will be a free agent after the season. Most Phillies fans want him gone already.<\/p>\n @r0naldM76: \u201cAlec Bohm and Edmundo Sosa hitting back to back in the middle of the lineup is going to be brutal\u201d<\/p>\n Alec Bohm has always been a low-power hitter, but since his average has dropped, his overall production has dropped as well.<\/p>\n @cal_lugay: \u201cNo actually I am a better player than Alec Bohm\u201d<\/p>\n Taking a Look at Alec Bohm This Season GettyPHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA \u2013 JULY 22: Alec Bohm #28 of the Philadelphia Phillies rounds the bases after hitting a two-run home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> during the first inning at Citizens Bank Park on July 22, 2026 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Caean Couto\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n Alec Bohm is clearly a very controversial infielder on the Phillies this season, but considering Mattingly continues to run him out there every day means the team doesn\u2019t exactly have a better option.<\/p>\n Across 434 at-bats this season, Bohm has a batting average of .230 with a bWAR of -1.2.<\/p>\n Stats are everything in baseball, and those stats aren\u2019t great. Bohm has also added 13 home runs, 18 doubles, and an OPS+ of 75.<\/p>\n More MLB on Heavy: MLB World Reacts to Joshua Baez Trifecta in Cardinals-Cubs Game<\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\t\tTJ French<\/a> covers the MLB for Heavy.
