J.T. REALMUTO NEWS

Back in action Friday Realmuto (head) is starting at catcher and batting cleanup Friday versus the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The 30-year-old is slashing .364/.400/.636 with two homers, three doubles, 10 RBI and seven runs through nine games in August.

Passes concussion tests Realmuto passed his concussion tests Thursday and will be available off the bench against the Dodgers, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Realmuto took a pair of foul tips off his mask Wednesday and wound up leaving the game, but he appears to have avoided serious harm. While he's not in Thursday's lineup, he was probably due for an off day anyway, as he'd started six straight games behind the plate.

Not starting Thursday Realmuto (head) will not start Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Realmuto left Wednesday's game after taking a pair of foul tips off his mask and was evaluated for a concussion. It's possible that's the reason he's sitting Thursday, though he's started six straight games behind the plate, so he was probably due for a rest regardless of what happened Wednesday. Andrew Knapp will catch Ranger Suarez in his absence.

Going through concussion tests Realmuto is being evaluated for a concussion after leaving Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Realmuto was removed from the contest after being struck in the mask by a pair of foul tips during the top of the first inning, so it's not a surprise he's being checked for a concussion. Andrew Knapp is poised to operate as Philadelphia's top catcher should Realmuto be forced to miss any time.

Enormous against Pittsburgh Realmuto went 5-for-6 with two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

Impact Realmuto made his presence felt early in the game with an RBI single in the first, scoring Travis Jankowski, and he later added an RBI double in the fifth that scored Bryce Harper. The star catcher wasn't done for the day, though, and he chipped in with a two-run single in the eighth as well. This was one of the most complete individual performances in the entire season and it boosted Realmuto's average to a solid .278 mark since the beginning of July. He continues to be one of the most productive backstops in the entire league.
