J.T. Realmuto News
Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto will be resting on Saturday as the Phillies continue a four-game set against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Realmuto went 0-3 with a walk last night and has a cumulative .267/.327/.400 stat line. He has hit two home runs and brought in four runs. Garrett Stubbs will catch for Spencer Turnbull and comes into today's game batting a .250 AVG with one swiped bag. Stubbs will face the left-handed pitcher Marco Gonzales, who is riding a solid 2.45 ERA and 1.00 WHIP.
Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (neck, throat) is catching and batting cleanup for the Phillies on Wednesday versus the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Lance Lynn. It's a bit of a surprise that Realmuto is playing in the series finale after taking a dirt ball to the neck/throat area while trying to block an errant pitch from right-hander Zack Wheeler on Tuesday night. The 33-year-old All-Star backstop was in a lot of pain and had to be removed from the game, but he's back in there on Wednesday and should remain in all starting lineups in single-season fantasy leagues. Realmuto has two home runs and four RBI in his first nine games this year but has only one hit in 10 career at-bats against the veteran Lynn.
Philadelphia Phillies All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto (neck, throat) was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals early in the seventh inning after taking a bouncing pitch in the dirt from right-hander Zack Wheeler to the neck/throat area. Realmuto was in a lot of pain after the ball went under his mask. He was replaced by Garrett Stubbs in the contest, and we'll bring you any updates on his condition later Tuesday night or Wednesday morning when they get passed along. Before leaving, Realmuto went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts to drop his season average to .273, so it was a rough game all around for the 33-year-old veteran. Even if Realmuto's injury isn't too serious, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play in the series finale against the Cards on Wednesday.

J.T. Realmuto had a down year by his lofty standards in 2023, hitting .252/.310/.452 with 20 HR and 16 SB over 540 PAs. The good news is that most of his underlying peripherals were virtually unchanged from more productive seasons. His average airborne exit velocity increased from 94.4 mph in 2022 to 95 last season, while his rate of Brls/BBE (11.3% VS. 11.2%) and max exit velocity (110.4 vs. 110.6) were virtually identical. Similarly, Realmuto posted a 28.7 ft./sec Statcast Sprint speed in both 2022 and 2023. The one troubling trend in his profile is plate discipline, as Realmuto's 25.6 K% was five points higher than his career mark of 20.6% while his SwStr% increased by nearly two ticks (12.1 vs. 10.2). Realmuto's biggest problem from a fantasy perspective is that more catchers can hit these days. At an ADP of 71.63, Realmuto is sandwiched between Eury Perez (70.83) and Kodai Senga (71.97), two arms with the ceiling of an ace. A .250 hitter with 20 HR and 15 SB can't compete with that even with catcher eligibility, especially since Realmuto is expected to hit toward the bottom of Philadelphia's lineup.
