Remains out Tuesday Realmuto (wrist) remains on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Realmuto has been banged up lately, dealing with a bruised knee and an illness last week before injuring his left wrist Saturday. He didn't appear in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays and is evidently still not yet ready to go following Monday's off day. Andrew Knapp (side) will return to the lineup in his absence. The Phillies made several moves Tuesday which did not involve placing Realmuto on the injured list, however, which seemingly suggests they expect him back soon.

Not starting Sunday Realmuto (wrist) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Impact The 30-year-old was removed from Saturday's game with an injured left wrist, and it's not much of a surprise to see him sitting out Sunday's series finale. Realmuto will now have two consecutive days to recover thanks to Monday's scheduled off day. Andrew Knapp will take over behind the plate for Philadelphia.

Nursing wrist issue Realmuto is dealing with a left wrist injury and could be held out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact It's been a rough week for the 30-year-old, as he suffered a knee bruise when hit by a foul ball, battled a non-COVID-19 illness and is now contending with the wrist issue. Manager Joe Girardi said he's "not sure" about Realmuto playing Sunday, so the catcher seems likely to be held out of the lineup.

Phillies catcher Realmuto back from COVID-19 IL after 1 day
Philadelphia Phillies catcher JMAY 14, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cleared to return Realmuto (knee) was cleared to return from the COVID-19 injured list Friday and will bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter against the Blue Jays.
Impact Realmuto hit the COVID-19 injured list Thursday due to a stomachache and fever, though he tested negative for the virus, so those symptoms evidently belonged to a different illness. He's ready to go just one day later, though the knee bruise he suffered earlier in the week after getting struck by a foul ball may still be affecting him, as he's not yet ready to start behind the plate.

Could return Friday Realmuto (knee) is with the Phillies in Dunedin and could be cleared to return from the COVID-19 injured list in time to start Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Matt Gelb of The...
Impact Realmuto was nursing a bruised knee when he developed a stomachache and fever Thursday and was added to the COVID-19 injured list. He never tested positive for coronavirus, so those symptoms were apparently due to another illness. Previous reports indicated that he wouldn't fly with the team for the weekend series, but he's evidently arrived in Florida separately and may not wind up missing the series after all. He's expected to start Friday's game if he's cleared to return, so the knee issue is evidently no longer a problem, either.

Not dealing with positive test Realmuto's (knee) placement on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday was not due to a positive test for the virus but instead due to an abundance of cautious regarding what appears to...
Impact Realmuto is reportedly dealing with a stomach ache and fever, something which manager Joe Girardi noted wouldn't be much cause for concern during a normal season but which necessitates a trip to the COVID-19 injured list this year even without a positive test. Assuming Realmuto continues to test negative, he shouldn't miss much time, though he's not flying with the team for the weekend series in Toronto. That suggests it's likely he won't play again until Tuesday against the Marlins. The timing of the illness could certainly be worse for the Phillies, as Realmuto was already banged up after taking a foul ball off his knee Tuesday and may have been set to miss a couple more games even without the illness.

Phillies place Realmuto on COVID-related IL, recall Marchan
The Philadelphia Phillies have placed catcher JMAY 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Added to COVID-19 IL The Phillies placed Realmuto (knee) on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday.
Impact After he was held out of the lineup for Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Nationals due to a bruised left knee, the star backstop is contending with a COVID-19-related issue a day later. At this point, the Phillies haven't provided any details regarding whether Realmuto was placed on the list due to a positive test, a close-contact situation or adverse effects to a vaccine shot, making it difficult to predict when he might be able to return to the lineup. In the meantime, Andrew Knapp will serve as Philadelphia's No. 1 catcher, while the Phillies recalled Rafael Marchan from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to provide depth behind him.

Remains on bench Realmuto (knee) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Realmuto's bruised left knee will keep him on the bench for the second straight game, affording Andrew Knapp another turn behind the dish. At this point, the Phillies are labeling Realmuto day-to-day and are hopeful he'll avoid a trip to the injured list, but that could change if he remains out of the lineup through the weekend series with the Blue Jays.

Sitting due to bruised knee Realmuto (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Phillies will extend Realmuto a maintenance day after he took a foul ball off his left knee during Tuesday's 6-2 win. He was fortunate to escape without any structural damage, as he's instead managing a bruise and some soreness on the back of his knee. Andrew Knapp will fill in behind the dish Wednesday, but manager Joe Girardi noted that Realmuto isn't a candidate to land on the injured list and will be available off the bench in a pinch-hitting capacity, per Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
