J.T. Realmuto is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Miami Marlins. It will be a normal day of rest for Realmuto. Since the All-Star break, Realmuto has been hot, going 18-for-50 (.360) with five home runs, 16 RBI and 10 runs scored in 14 games to raise his season line to .268/.339/.455 with 13 home runs, 54 RBI, 52 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 378 plate appearances. When he's on the field, Realmuto is a must-start in fantasy.
Garrett Stubbs is doing the catching on Thursday and is hitting eighth against Marlins right-hander
Edward Cabrera. Stubbs will be a low-upside DFS play on Thursday. He's hitting .270 on the year but has just four home runs and 11 RBI in 30 games played.

J.T. Realmuto from the restricted list on Thursday. He and third baseman
Alec Bohm are the most notable players who landed on the restricted list and could not travel for the team's previous series at Toronto. The 31-year-old will return to his role as Philadelphia's primary catcher. He is slashing .240/.313/.371 with seven home runs, 35 RBI, and 39 runs over 310 plate appearances in 2022.
