Realmuto Rests: Phillies Catcher Sits Out Saturday Matchup
In a move that may have caught some fantasy baseball owners off guard, the Philadelphia Phillies opted to rest their starting catcher J.T. Realmuto for Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The 31-year-old Realmuto has been one of the most durable catchers in Major League Baseball over the last few seasons. However, he exited Friday night’s contest early, leading to speculation that he may have been dealing with a minor injury or just needed a routine day off.
