J.T. Realmuto Sitting Out Thursday Afternoon
1 year agoPhiladelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is out of the starting lineup Thursday afternoon against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Understandably, the veteran is getting an afternoon breather following a night game on Wednesday. Realmuto had been enduring an underwhelming season in 2023 but has exploded over his last three games. Over his last 14 trips to the plate, the three-time All-Star has seven hits including two doubles, two triples, two homers, two walks, seven runs, six RBI, and a stolen base to boot. Realmuto hit for his first career cycle on Monday and has stayed hot since. Garrett Stubbs will take over behind the plate and hit ninth against D-backs right-hander Ryne Nelson Thursday afternoon.
