The Phillies sent Garrett Stubbs to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, per team updates, cementing Rafael Marchán as J.T. Realmuto’s backup catcher to start 2025.
Fantasy Impact
Stubbs’ .804 OPS in 10 spring games couldn’t outshine Marchán for the Phillies’ backup catcher role behind Realmuto, dropping him to Lehigh Valley Thursday despite a career .215/.294/.311 MLB line. His clubhouse vibe shines. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, hoping the 31-year-old’s bat earns a midseason call-up if Philadelphia’s catching depth shifts in 2025.
