J.T. Realmuto Returns To Lineup At First Base On Wednesday
3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (shoulder) is back in the lineup Wednesday versus Alec Mills and the Cubs. Realmuto will play first base with Andrew Knapp getting another game behind the plate as Realmuto continues to nurse a shoulder injury. Philadelphia announced Realmuto would see more time at first base to try and keep its All-Star catcher healthy down the stretch as Realmuto has been battling a few nagging injuries including his shoulder and ankle. The 30-year-old backstop is having another fine season with a .262/.349/.434 slash line with 14 homers and 10 stolen bases to lead all catchers in thefts. Realmuto should be back in fantasy lineups in all formats.
