One surprising part of this team that has been unexpectedly shining bright this season is the bench players. For the most part, the backups coming off the bench this year have outperformed expectations, taking advantage of every opportunity they’ve been given.Backup infielder Edmundo Sosa had a big opportunity presented when starting shortstop Trea Turner suffered a hamstring injury in early May.
