J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-3 in Wednesday's win over the Nationals with a home run, two walks, one run scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Realmuto went just 1-for-12 with five strikeouts over his first four games of the season, but he got the bat going Wednesday. The veteran backstop is now batting .200 with a solo homer.
J.T. Realmuto's slow start continued Tuesday night, as the veteran backstop went 0-for-3 in a win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Realmuto is just 1-for-12 with a single and five strikeouts through his first four games of the season. The three-time All-Star should get going soon enough, but his upside is limited at this point in his career.
Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (illness) could return to the lineup on Tuesday, according to manager Rob Thomson.
Fantasy Impact
Realmuto has been sick for the past several days but has returned to Phillies camp. The veteran re-signed with the Phillies this winter after a down year in which he hit .257 with 12 home runs and a .699 OPS across 134 games.
J.T. Realmuto has signed a three-year deal to return to the Philadelphia Phillies. The contract is worth $45 million with $5 million in incentives each season.
Fantasy Impact
After losing out on Bo Bichette earlier in the day, the Phillies pivoted to a familiar face and re-signed their catcher of the past seven seasons. Realmuto, who will turn 35 in March, may not quite be the offensive threat he once was, but he is still in the upper tier of backstops across the majors. Realmuto batted .257 with 12 home runs and 52 RBI in 550 plate appearances with the Phillies last season. He also threw out an NL high 30 baserunners attempting to steal a season ago. Realmuto will slide back in as the Phillies' starting catcher in 2026.
J.T. Realmuto left Tuesday’s game against the Marlins with a right index finger contusion.
Fantasy Impact
Realmuto suffered the injury after getting hit by a pitch. He figures to be further evaluated this week.
