Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Makes return to lineup
Rotowire
Realmuto (knee) will start at catcher and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Realmuto will re-enter the starting nine after sitting out each of the past three games while managing a sore right knee. Provided he doesn't experience any setbacks in his return to action, Realmuto should resume handling one of the heftier workloads in the league among No. 1 catchers, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Phillies gave him a breather later this week or had him serve as a designated hitter for a game.
