With Turner's return to the Phillies lineup, Sosa began taking fly balls in the outfield during batting practice, a precursor to potentially playing left field.
With Turner returning to his familiar No. 2 spot in the lineup, Sosa went back to the bench. He did begin taking fly balls in the outfield during batting practice, a precursor to potentially playing left field, according to manager “We’ll get him a lot of reads off the bat in batting practice, which, it’s not gamelike but it’s as close as you can get,” Thomson said. “Playing the outfield in spring training in Florida is like the toughest job in baseball because you’ve got high sky, you’ve got sun, you’ve got wind. If he can do it there, then he probably can do it.”
“I don’t think he gets enough credit,” Turner said. “I don’t know if he even made an error. He was really good and solid there. The at-bats were great, too. Early on, I felt like every hit he had was driving in a run. He was clutch. I think he did an unbelievable job.
