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.

Stott homered for the first time since May 17, sending a three-run shot over the center field wall in the fourth inning.
