Overview

  • Realmuto was hit by a foul tip in the first inning Tuesday against the Giants and left before his first plate appearance.
  • The Phillies called it a right foot contusion, and MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki reported that X-rays showed no fracture.
  • Manager Rob Thomson said the team will reevaluate Wednesday and start Rafael Marchan, with Thursday’s off-day offering extra recovery.
  • Thomson later noted Realmuto was still sore and would sit the series finale, leaving his return on a day-to-day track.
  • If more time is needed, Garrett Stubbs is available at Triple-A, a consideration that underscores Realmuto’s value as a durable, three-time All-Star on a new three-year, $45 million deal.
