Realmuto (ankle/shoulder) will bat cleanup and play first base Thursday against the Nationals.

Realmuto has started just one of the Phillies' last four games while battling ankle and shoulder issues, and he had to leave that start early. He's advanced to the point where the Phillies are comfortable getting his bat back in the lineup, but he's not yet ready to catch. He should spend a fair amount of time at first base down the stretch with Rhys Hoskins out for the year with an abdominal injury.
