If the Phillies kept Alec Bohm off the field in part to smooth out some of his rough defensive edges and build back his confidence, Bobby Dickerson’s message to the 25-year-old third baseman last week didn’t change much.
Bohm started only one of the next six games — as a designated hitter Saturday in Miami. Girardi and Dickerson claim Bohm’s absence was neither punitive nor designed to allow more practice time at third base. Instead, they said switch-hitting Johan Camargo earned a run of playing time with his production at the plate. He began the season on a 6-for-14 roll before cooling.
“I’ve had multiple guys in my career have really bad games,” Dickerson said. “I just try to approach it the same way. He’s a young infielder. Probably has a whole lot of expectations that he puts on himself. Sometimes us as human beings want to do a little more than we need to. Truthfully, whatever’s the best version of him is enough.”
Bohm did that Monday night. He handled two chances against the Rockies, and although a foul pop clanked off his glove, the presence of the tarp along the railing in foul territory made it a difficult play.
