In addition to Nola taking Wheeler’s roster spot, the Phillies activated Bohm from the IL before the series finale against Washington. Bohm, who also had a fractured rib, smashed a three-run homer in the second inning and went 2 for 4 in his first game since July 18.

Bohm returned after a five-game tune-up in triple A. In the first inning, he swung at the first pitch and reached on a chopper that third baseman Brady House whiffed on. In the second inning, Bohm banged a fastball from lefty Mitchell Parker into the left-field bleachers.
