Stubbs signed a one-year contract with the Phillies on Friday to avoid arbitration. The 31-year-old will serve as the Phillies' backup catcher behind J.T. Realmuto for a fourth straight season in 2025. Stubbs finished the 2024 regular season with a .207/.296/.262 slash line, five stolen bases, one home run and 11 RBI over 186 plate appearances.

Stubbs is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. He'll be on the bench for the fourth straight game and is likely to see scant playing time down the stretch after J.T. Realmuto returned to action Friday following a week-long absence. Stubbs will at least stick around as the top backup to Realmuto after the Phillies designated No. 3 backstop Aramis Garcia for assignment Sunday.

Stubbs went 4-for-4 with a triple, a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-3 win over Kansas City. Stubbs tripled and scored in the third inning before doubling in a run and scoring again in the sixth. He capped off his big day in the eighth inning with a single and another run scored. Stubbs is now slashing .216/.310/.281 with six extra-base hits through 158 plate appearances this season, but his starting opportunities are expected to remain fairly limited while top backstop J.T. Realmuto is available.

Stubbs will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Twins. Though he's included in the lineup for the series finale in Minnesota, Stubbs has moved back into the No. 2 role at catcher after JT Realmuto was reinstated from the injured list Saturday. Realmuto has been on the bench twice in the Phillies' five contests since his activation, but both of his absences came in day games after night games.

Stubbs is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics. As per usual, Stubbs will yield to Rafael Marchan behind the dish with a lefty pitcher on the mound in Hogan Harris. Stubbs is slashing .194/.259/.243 across 112 plate appearances this season.
