Still out Tuesday Realmuto (ankle/shoulder) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Realmuto has been banged up lately, missing Saturday's game with a shoulder issue and leaving Sunday's with ankle soreness. He missed Monday's game while nursing both injuries, and while the Phillies hoped he'd be back in the lineup Tuesday, he'll wind up missing at least one more game. Rafael Marchan will start behind the plate in his absence, while Matt Vierling starts at first base, the spot Realmuto is expected to occupy frequently down the stretch.

Sitting Monday Realmuto (ankle) will sit Monday against Washington.
Impact Realmuto missed Saturday's game due to a shoulder issue and left Sunday's contest with a sore ankle. He'll get the day off to recover from both injuries, with Rafael Marchan starting behind the plate. The Phillies don't expect Realmuto to require a trip to the injured list, per Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. He could be available to pinch hit Monday and is expected to return to the lineup at first base Tuesday.

Injures ankle Sunday Realmuto exited in the top of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks with a sore left ankle, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia. He went 1-for-2 with a wa...
Impact With Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) shut down for the season, Realmuto picked up his first start of the season at first base Sunday and is expected to see more work at the position down the stretch. However, Realmuto's availability moving forward is now in question, after he fouled a ball off his ankle in an at-bat earlier in the series finale before eventually leaving the game. The Phillies will presumably send Realmuto for further evaluation before providing an update on his status heading into Monday's game in Washington.

Back Sunday, as expected Realmuto (shoulder) is starting at first base and batting second Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact Realmuto sat out Saturday's contest with a shoulder injury, but he'll return to the lineup Sunday and will make his first start of the season at first base. The 30-year-old is expected to see more work at first down the stretch with Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) out for the season. Rafael Marchan will start behind the plate Sunday since regular backup catcher Andrew Knapp landed on the COVID-19 injured list.

Retreats to bench Realmuto isn't starting Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Realmuto was initially slated to sit out Friday's contest but was added to the lineup after Andrew Knapp was placed on the COVID-19 injured list. Jean Segura revealed after Friday's game that Realmuto is dealing with a shoulder injury. However, manager Joe Girardi said that the 30-year-old is expected to start at first base Sunday, Green reports.

Will work at first base Realmuto will see time at first base for the rest of the season with Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) on the injured list, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hoskins has already been ruled out for the rest of the season, and a shift to first base will allow Realmuto to escape the everyday strain of catching while still keeping his bat in the lineup. It's unclear exactly how the Phillies plan to split the 30-year-old's playing time between the two positions, but he should remain a fixture in the lineup regardless of where he's playing in the field. Backup catcher Andrew Knapp should be the primary beneficiary when Realmuto is at first, while fill-in first baseman Brad Miller figures to see less time. However, Realmuto is out of the lineup completely for Friday's contest while Knapp starts at catcher.

Day off Friday Realmuto is not in the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Homers, steals base in win Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a steal in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Padres.
Impact Realmuto slammed a two-run homer off Miguel Diaz in the seventh inning, extending the Phillies' lead to six runs. In addition, he stole second base after hitting a single to lead off the second inning. It was the first time this season where he homered and stole a base in the same game. He is batting .286 with three long balls and 14 RBI over his last 17 games. On the season, the catcher is slashing .262/.347/.451 with 14 home runs, 56 RBI, 50 runs and eight steals in 405 plate appearances.
