Phillies’ Bryson Stott Announces Personal News Amid MLB Season
The Philadelphia Phillies have turned their season around after firing former manager Rob Thomson. Under Don Mattingly, Philadelphia has gone 10-3 and sits just three games under .500 after their disastrous April.
As the Phillies begin to get back on track, they are still searching for contributions from several everyday players, including second baseman Bryson Stott . The 28-year-old is known for his excellent defense up the middle, but his bat broke out last year and he became a force at the bottom of the lineup.
Unfortunately, that success has not carried into 2026. Stott has posted a .213 batting average, a .262 on-base percentage, a .622 OPS, three home runs and 15 RBIs across 35 games.
There is still plenty of time for Stott to turn it around as the season progresses. The Phillies have an off day Monday as they travel to Boston for a series against the Red Sox .
Stott used the off day to share a personal update. Stott and his wife, Dru Stott, announced that their family will be growing. In a collaborative post, they revealed that Dru is expecting, sharing a series of photos featuring the couple and their two young children, a daughter named Braxtyn (born November 2023) and a son named Jaxson (born July 2025).
The caption included a light joke about their family having one girl and one boy already. “Tie-breaker, advantage GIRL🎀👑 Another blessing coming September 26'🌸💓,” it read.
As Stott prepares to enter fatherhood again and his family continues to grow, he will look to use the moment as added motivation to turn his season around.
Stott has spent his entire career with the Phillies after being selected in the first round of the 2019 MLB Draft.
With the Phillies climbing back toward contention, Stott’s ability to rediscover his offensive form could play a meaningful role in how far this team goes.
