After winning just a single playoff game last year and with several veteran stars in contract seasons, the Philadelphia Phillies face a rapidly closing championship window.

The team has one of the highest payrolls in Major League Baseball and a fanbase that’s demanding results, so it won’t hesitate to make improvements to the roster where it can. And with the likes of Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber firmly entrenched in the batting order, a player like Bryson Stott could be on the move if he can’t produce.

Stott flashed enough earlier in his career to suggest he would be an important part of the Phillies core, but after a downturn last year has turned into a career-low minus-0.2 WAR so far this season, the Phillies could be close to giving up on those hopes.

“Whether the Phillies would seriously consider using one of Stott’s three remaining minor-league options if he doesn’t get going at the plate is unclear,” Tim Kelly wrote for On Pattison. “But Stott entered (this season) needing to prove that last season was a fluke and he should be thought of as a core piece moving forward. So far, he hasn’t come close to doing that, and the clock is ticking.”

So far in June, Stott is batting just .135 with a .350 OPS. He started the team’s series with the Miami Marlins began 1-for-8. And with Otto Kemp emerging as a strong replacement for the injured Bryce Harper, it’s possible that the Phillies will opt to move Stott so that they can keep Kemp in the lineup when Harper returns.

“If Stott is still struggling in a few weeks, the Phillies might be inclined to consider Kemp at second base,” Kelly added.

Stott might still have a few weeks to prove he’s capable of getting on base at a more consistent rate. But if not, it could become clear to the team that his roster spot is the simplest one to upgrade as a push to the playoffs comes into view.
