J.T. Realmuto Getting A Breather Friday
1 year agoPhiladelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is getting a day off on Friday with the team taking on the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. With Realmuto starting on the bench, Garrett Stubbs will catch left-hander Cristopher Sanchez and will bat in the nine-hole against Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas. Stubbs is hitting just .210 (17-for-81) on the year with no homers, five RBI and nine runs scored in backup duty for the Phillies this year, so fantasy managers should be looking for better DFS options at the position on Friday. Realmuto should be back in the starting lineup on Saturday. He's been solid so far in August, going 17-for-59 (.288) with three home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and 11 runs scored in 16 games (15 starts).
