I didn’t see it posted but Jenista now with AA Mississippi Braves. Dallas Keuchel started for them last week.

Bohm gets his second promotion -- to Double-A Reading -- after a scorching .342 BA with 7 homers in 62 games at lower levels this year.

From the Philly Inquirer article:

"Bohm could be in the conversation to spend September in the majors, joining the Phillies just in time for a possible playoff race."

"It can be expected that Bohm will be the Phillies’ starting third baseman in 2020. Perhaps they will push the clock ahead a few months."

Thanks for sharing the story... my thoughts and prayers are with Sam's dad Jim as he fights ALS.

Saw that on Twitter, congrats Josh! Won't be too long before some others get their chance.

Lost in the activity over the Butler firing was the news that Josh Smith got promoted to the Indians. He is, I believe, the 38th Shocker Major Leaguer and the first to debut since Dusty Coleman in 2015.

Looks like we got him going. 3 homers now, and a promotion.
