Player Outlook
While it's impressive that J.T. Realmuto has remained a capable starting catcher through his age-34 season, he's clearly not the player he once was. His OPS slipped to .700 last year, his lowest mark since his rookie season, while he managed just 12 homers. He's now averaged 13 homers and five steals over the past two seasons, well below the 19.7 homers and 16.7 steals he averaged over the previous three. Previously a player who would regularly be at or near the top of the plate appearance leaderboard for catchers, allowing him to compile big run and RBI totals, he ranked a mere seventh in plate appearances (550) among catchers last season and finished eighth in runs (57) and 15th in RBI (52). Now a free agent, he should land somewhere where he'll still get most of the starts behind the plate, making him a very serviceable option in two-catcher leagues, but there's very little upside here at his age, so those in one-catcher leagues may want to look towards the younger generation.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Returns from absence

    Rotowire
    Realmuto (illness) is starting at catcher and batting second Tuesday against the Twins, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. He was under the weather for a couple days. Realmuto is batting .235 with one home run in seven games this spring.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Battling illness

    Rotowire
    Realmuto has been under the weather the past few days but could return to the Phillies' Grapefruit League lineup Tuesday against the Twins, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. Realmuto has a .786 OPS through 19 plate appearances during spring training, so the illness shouldn't affect his availability for the start of the regular season. The 34-year-old is coming off a 2025 regular season that saw him post his worst OPS (.699) since his second MLB campaign in 2015.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: In mix for cleanup spot

    Rotowire
    Realmuto is an option to bat cleanup in 2026, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. Manager Rob Thomson considers Alec Bohm the favorite for the role, and it sounds like Adolis Garcia is in contention as well. Realmuto enters his age-35 campaign in fairly evident decline, considering his OPS has dropped steadily in each of the past four seasons, but the possibility of hitting fourth in Philadelphia's lineup at least gives him some upside as a late-round catcher option in fantasy drafts.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Back with Phils on three-year deal

    Rotowire
    The Phillies re-signed Realmuto to a three-year, $45 million contract Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. The deal can max out at $60 million if Realmuto reaches all of his incentives. The backstop turns 35 in March and has been in a steady decline both offensively and defensively, finishing the 2025 campaign with a .257/.315/.384 batting line and 12 home runs over 134 regular-season contests. However, while Realmuto's best days are behind him, he remains a quality hitter compared to most catchers, still has a great throwing arm and is well-liked in the Phillies' clubhouse.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Sitting in Game 162

    Rotowire
    Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins. Realmuto will get the day off for the Phillies' regular-season finale. Assuming the catcher remains on the bench for the contest, he'll head into the playoffs with a .257/.315/.384 slash line, 12 home runs, 52 RBI and 57 runs scored across 549 plate appearances.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Back in lineup

    Rotowire
    Realmuto (finger) will start at catcher and bat sixth Thursday against the Marlins, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Realmuto sat out Wednesday's contest after taking a foul ball off his right index finger Tuesday, and he's now ready to return to the starting nine after a day of rest. The 34-year-old backstop has been cold at the plate toward the end of the regular season, slashing .210/.288/.290 across 73 plate appearances since the beginning of the month.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Absent from lineup

    Rotowire
    Realmuto (finger) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Marlins, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Realmuto had to be lifted from Tuesday's game after taking a foul tip off his right index finger. X-rays came back negative and he should be fine, but Realmuto will sit out at least one contest. Rafael Marchan is catching and batting ninth for the Phillies on Wednesday.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Exits with bruised finger

    Rotowire
    Realmuto was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins with a right index finger contusion, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Realmuto took a foul ball off his hand while behind the plate during the ninth inning of Tuesday's contest, and he was later lifted for a pinch hitter. X-rays on his hand came back negative afterward, so he seems to have avoided severe damage, but the Phillies may give Rafael Marchan a start or two at catcher over the next couple of days to give Realmuto's finger time to heal.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Returning Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Realmuto (illness) will start at catcher and bat fourth Wednesday against the Dodgers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. After sitting out Tuesday's contest due to an illness, Realmuto seems to be feeling well enough to return to the starting nine Wednesday. The 34-year-old backstop has been in a rough patch at the plate recently, slashing .233/.327/.326 across 52 plate appearances since the start of September.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Battling illness

    Rotowire
    Realmuto was unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers due to illness, Lochlahn March of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. It helps explain why Realmuto didn't pinch hit for Rafael Marchan when the game was tied 6-6 in the top of the ninth inning (Marchan launched a go-ahead, three-run homer, as it turned out). Consider Realmuto day-to-day, but with the National League East clinched and an off day looming Thursday, the Phillies might choose to hold their top catcher out until Friday's series opener in Arizona.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Sitting down Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Realmuto isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Realmuto will retreat to the bench Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a sacrifice fly in Monday's win. His absence will put Rafael Marchan behind the plate and in the ninth spot of Philadelphia's lineup.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Getting night off

    Rotowire
    Realmuto is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals. Realmuto will receive a well-earned day off after catching all four games this week against the Mets. Rafael Marchan will be behind the dish and batting ninth for the Phillies on Friday.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Receiving breather Sunday

    Rotowire
    Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins. Realmuto started the previous seven games and will receive Sunday off, which will put his modest four-game hit streak on hold, barring an appearance off the bench. Rafael Marchan is stepping in behind the plate for the series finale in Miami.

    Rotowire

    Rotowire
    Realmuto went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Thursday's 19-4 win over Atlanta. Realmuto hit the second of three Philadelphia homers in the first inning, tying the game at 3-3 to erase Atlanta's early lead. The catcher had gone 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over the Phillies' three-game series against the Mets earlier in the week. Realmuto has four homers in his last nine contests and is up to 11 long balls on the year. He's added 47 RBI, 47 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple, seven stolen bases and a .271/.327/.411 slash line through 111 games.

Realmuto started the previous five contests and is in the midst of a seven-game hit streak, during which he's batting .440 (11-for-25) with two doubles and three home runs, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale versus Washington. Rafael Marchan will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Ranger Suarez.

    Rotowire

Realmuto homered for the second straight game, and he also swiped his first bag since July 21 versus the Red Sox. The veteran backstop has been on fire at the plate since the start of July, hitting safely in 27 of his last 34 games. During that stretch, Realmuto is hitting .346 (46-for-133) with four homers, 11 doubles, 15 RBI and two steals.
