Losing work to Realmuto Stubbs will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Though he's included in the lineup for the series finale in Minnesota, Stubbs has moved back into the No. 2 role at catcher after JT Realmuto was reinstated from the injured list Saturday. Realmuto has been on the bench twice in the Phillies' five contests since his activation, but both of his absences came in day games after night games.

Won't face lefty Stubbs is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

Impact As per usual, Stubbs will yield to Rafael Marchan behind the dish with a lefty pitcher on the mound (Hogan Harris). Stubbs is slashing .194/.259/.243 across 112 plate appearances this season.

Back in lineup Sunday Stubbs will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact After sitting out in three of the past four games, Stubbs is back behind the dish for the series finale in Atlanta. In two of those three games that the lefty-hitting Stubbs didn't start, the Phillies opposed left-handed pitchers, so Stubbs would still seem to have a hold on the larger portion of a timeshare at catcher with the switch-hitting Rafael Marchan. Both backstops will see their opportunities decline once J.T. Realmuto (knee) returns from the injured list.

Belts first homer Stubbs went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins.

Impact The 31-year-old backstop got the Phillies on the board in the third inning by clubbing a Roddery Munoz sinker over the right-field fence. The homer was Stubbs' first of the season, and he's been making a modest impact since J.T. Realmuto (knee) was sidelined, hitting safely in nine of his last 10 games and batting .278 (10-for-36) over that stretch. The RBI was his first since June 2, however.

Sitting versus lefty Stubbs isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game versus Arizona.

Impact The lefty-hitting Stubbs will take a seat Saturday as the lefty-throwing Tommy Henry starts on the bump for the Diamondbacks. Rafael Marchan will instead start at catcher while batting ninth.

Gets second straight start Stubbs will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Stubbs will make a second straight start while J.T. Realmuto is day-to-day with a knee injury. The Phillies expect Realmuto to avoid a stint on the injured list, but with Tuesday's game beginning at 1:10 p.m. ET, the team could opt to hold him out for another contest while giving Stubbs another turn behind the plate.

Reaches agreement with Phils Stubbs avoided arbitration Friday with the Phillies on a one-year contract.

Impact Stubbs slashed just .204/.274/.283 over 41 regular-season games in 2023 and drew only one postseason plate appearance, but the backup catcher figures to return to that role behind J.T. Realmuto in 2024.

Notches steal Sunday Stubbs went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Stubbs got into just seven games after the start of September, serving as backup to workhorse catcher J.T. Realmuto. The multi-hit effort Sunday was just the second such game for Stubbs all season. He slashed .204/.274/.283 with one home run, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases across 125 plate appearances. Stubbs will likely see minimal playing time in the postseason.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Filling in for banged-up Realmuto Stubbs will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact He'll pick up a second consecutive start in place of J.T. Realmuto, who is nursing a hand injury after getting spiked by a Marlins player in Monday's 4-2 win. The Phillies haven't suggested that Realmuto is in line to go on the 10-day injured list, so Stubbs may not be in line for an extended run as the team's No. 1 backstop. Despite being on the active roster all season, Stubbs enters Tuesday's contest with just 70 plate appearances to his name while Realmuto has been one of the majors' more heavily-used catchers.

AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up rare start Stubbs will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact With top backstop J.T. Realmuto receiving a breather for the day game after a night game, Stubbs will crack the starting nine for just the eighth time in 49 contests on the season. Stubbs, who owns a .588 OPS over 30 plate appearances in 2023, will likely remain one of MLB's most lightly used backup catchers so long as Realmuto is healthy.
