“It’s broken”: Alec Bohm escapes serious injury, eyes speedy recovery

Alec Bohm

Alec Bohm suffered a deeply painful injury in Monday clash between Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals, exits with a dislocated left ring finger after sliding into second base in the top of the 2nd inning. Phillies now lack manpower after the 6-1 loss to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.

Alec Bohm left the game in agony, holding his left hand tightly against his body. Television cameras caught him telling first base coach Paco Figueroa, “It’s broken.” The entire Philadelphia team were in doubts about Bohm’s recovery but luckily the X-Ray results show no negative signs and Bohm is expected to miss 1-2 matches.

Jean Segura and Bryce Harper are already on Phillies’ injury list, they also have a few players down with COVID-19 vaccination status. Manager Rob Thomson informed Alec Bohm would continue to be evaluated and no decision has been taken regarding the seriousness of the injury or would Bohm require a trip to the injured list. The third baseman will already be down for at least Tuesday and Wednesday because he can’t travel to Toronto.

 “I wish it didn’t have to be like that, but I’ve got all the confidence in those guys to go out there in Toronto and go win a couple games,” Alec Bohm said. “We’ve won games that I haven’t played in before. It is what it is. It’s out of my control. It’s a personal deal. I made a choice and there’s consequences that come with that.”

Anyway, Alec Bohm and few of his colleagues would not have been able to step foot in Canada and entry in Canada requires the players to take COVID-19 vaccine, which Bohm does not have.

“My decision’s going to stay my decision,” Bohm said. “I’m not going to backpedal on that. I’ve made my choice, and that’s kind of what I’m sticking to.” The Phillies held a meeting with the team about a month ago to encourage them to get vaccinated.
