Alec Bohm was removed from the Phillies' series opener against the Braves after the second inning with left hand discomfort.
Bohm injured his hand on the second swing of his first and only at-bat against Charlie Morton in the bottom of the first. His hands twisted awkwardly on the follow-through of his swing and he let out a yelp. Manager Rob Thomson and Phillies assistant athletic trainer Christian Bermudez checked on Bohm for a couple of minutes but the third baseman stayed in the game.
"It was just kind of a weird finish," Thomson said. "He pinched something in there, kind of a zinger. But he's sore right now. We'll just reassess him tomorrow."

Bohm grounded out on the next pitch and went down the tunnel back into the Phillies' clubhouse in apparent pain. He came back out for the top of the second and made the final play of the inning, catching a lineout from Luke Williams, then exited before the start of the third.
X-rays on Bohm's hand were negative. He was replaced by Edmundo Sosa.
"Went out and played defense and we were gonna reassess him afterwards and he had trouble swinging the bat," Thomson said.
Bohm has appeared in 131 of the Phillies' 133 games, starting 128. He's hit .290 with a major-league-leading 44 doubles, 13 home runs and 89 RBI. While he's struggled with runners in scoring position all homestand, he'd be a difficult loss as the Phillies' top run producer.

More should be known about Bohm's status on Friday afternoon but it would not be a surprise if he sat in Game 2 against right-hander Reynaldo Lopez.
