3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (elbow) left Thursday's win over the Cubs after being hit by a pitch in the left elbow/triceps area, according to Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia. Andrew Knapp came in at catcher after Realmuto posted another solid game as he collected an RBI and scored a run. According to manager Joe Girardi, X-rays on Realmuto were negative, but his status for Friday's game is up in the air as Realmuto has been dealing with other nagging injuries late in the season. Philly can ill-afford to lose its All-Star catcher, but an injured list stint feels unlikely for Realmuto. Fantasy managers should have a contingency plan in place in the event Realmuto is out.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
