J.T. Realmuto C | PHI
Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Remains out Game 1
Realmuto (hip) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Realmuto exited Saturday's contest during the eighth inning with hip discomfort, and it remains unclear if he'll be available for either of Sunday's contests. However, the fact the Phillies didn't promote a catcher when announcing roster moves early in the day could bode well for his outlook. Andrew Knapp will start behind the plate in the matinee.

Narvaez hasn't started back-to-back games in nearly two weeks as he continues to struggle with a .583 OPS and 31.1 percent strikeout rate. Jacob Nottingham receives the start behind the plate for Milwaukee, batting ninth.
