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.
J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-4 in the loss to the Royals, contributing one home run and an RBI while scoring once.
Fantasy Impact
Realmuto has hit safely in three of his last four games, and on Sunday, he hit his first home run since August 28. After yesterday’s game, his season totals are a .265 batting average with 12 home runs and 50 RBI in 125 games.
J.T. Realmuto went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Realmuto has just one hit in his last 15 at-bats, but he made that hit count in Thursday's 19-4 romp of the Braves. The veteran backstop is no longer the offensive asset he once was, but he has been a solid option at his position going back to the beginning of July. Since then, Realmuto has hit .314 with an .858 OPS and six homers over 41 games.
J.T. Realmuto went 1-for-3 in a close loss to the Nationals, contributing one home run, one RBI, one run scored, and one walk.
Fantasy Impact
The catcher continues a strong stretch at the plate, hitting .330 with five home runs and 14 RBI over his last 30 games for the Phillies. After yesterday’s game, Realmuto maintains a solid .279 batting average with 10 home runs and 44 RBI across 106 games this season.
