Receiving Tuesday off Realmuto is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The Phillies clinched the NL East title with a win over the Cubs on Monday, but Realmuto's absence from the lineup Tuesday likely has more to do with the fact that he started the previous five games. Garrett Stubbs will do the catching for opener Tanner Banks.

Clubs 14th homer Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Cubs.

Impact Realmuto's 14th round-tripper put the Phillies on the board in the second inning and served as the springboard to their division-clinching victory. It was the veteran catcher's fifth multi-hit game and third homer this month. Barring a surge during the final week of the season, Realmuto will finish with fewer than 17 home runs in a full season for the first time since 2016.

Catching Friday Realmuto (knee) is catching and batting fifth Friday against the Mets.

Impact Realmuto hasn't played since Sep. 6 after fouling a ball off his left knee and suffering a knee contusion. Before the injury, Realmuto had a four-game hit streak and went 6-for-13 with a homer and a stolen base during that stretch.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back Friday Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that he expects Realmuto (knee) to return to the lineup Friday versus the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Realmuto remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Rays and will end up getting a full week off as he recovers from a left knee contusion, an injury that he suffered when he fouled a ball off himself last Friday in Miami. Fortunately for Realmuto, follow-up tests revealed no structural damage to the knee, but the Phillies will continue to hold him out for a couple more days while he waits for the swelling to calm down. Garrett Stubbs and Aramis Garcia have been holding down the fort at catcher while Realmuto has been out of action.

Aiming to return to action Friday Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Monday that Realmuto (knee) could be ready to play by the start of the team's series against the Mets on Friday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia...

Impact Realmuto is missing a third straight start while he deals with a left knee contusion. Thomson noted that the catcher is still dealing with swelling and fluid in the knee, which will prevent him from catching a bullpen session Monday as originally planned. The hope is that Realmuto will be able to test out the knee in catching a bullpen session Tuesday, but it doesn't seem to be a given as the club monitors his status on a day-to-day basis. Garrett Stubbs is doing the catching for the Phillies on Monday.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Remains idle Monday Realmuto (knee) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Impact Realmuto will miss out on a third consecutive start while he remains day-to-day with a left knee contusion, which stemmed from a fouling a ball off himself in the second inning of Friday's 16-2 win over the Marlins. Garrett Stubbs will get a turn behind the plate Monday in place of Realmuto.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Sunday's lineup Realmuto (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact The 33-year-old said Sunday his bruised left is feeling much better and that he could rejoin the lineup in a day or two, per Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer, but he's sitting Sunday for the second straight day. Aramis Garcia will receive the start behind the plate as Realmuto should continue to be considered day-to-day.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting down Saturday Realmuto (knee) isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

Impact Realmuto was taken out of Friday's contest after he fouled a ball off his left knee in the second inning. The team hasn't indicated that the 33-year-old will need to spend time on the injured list, though the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant a day off Saturday. Garrett Stubbs will catch for Aaron Nola and bat ninth.
