• J.T. Realmuto (knee) likely to return Wednesday
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters J.T. Realmuto (knee) will return to the lineup on Wednesday.

    Advice: Realmuto sat out Tuesday’s showdown against the Mets at Citi Field due to an ongoing right knee issue, but it sounds like he’ll be ready to go for Wednesday’s matchup, barring something unexpected. Rotoworld Today, 1:31 pm
     
  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Moreno is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Reds.

    Advice: Moreno finally clubbed his first home run of the season in Monday's win over Cincinnati, but he'll get a breather a day later. Tucker Barnhart will do the catching for Slade Cecconi. Rotowire.com Today, 1:30 pm
     
  • Sitting out first game
    Ruiz is absent from the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the White Sox.

    Advice: Riley Adams will do the catching for Trevor Williams. Ruiz will likely be back in there for the nightcap, when Mitchell Parker will be on the mound for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 11:10 am

  • Hot hitting continues Monday
    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a double in a loss to the Astros on Monday.

    Advice: Soderstrom delivered half the offense for the Athletics on the night with his fourth-inning knock, which plated Brent Rooker. The 22-year-old extended the red-hot start to his first big-league stint of 2024 with his multi-hit effort, as he's now reached safely in all four games he's appeared in and has doubled in back-to-back contests.

  • Works out pregame Tuesday
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Realmuto (knee) did some work on the field and in the batting cage pregame Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Thomson noted that Realmuto's right knee is feeling better, but the skipper was not ready to commit to the catcher returning to the lineup Wednesday. Realmuto is missing a third straight start Tuesday. Garrett Stubbs has been filling in behind the plate for the Phils. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 am
     
  • J.T. Realmuto (knee) remains out against Mets
    J.T. Realmuto (knee) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Mets.

    Advice: Realmuto is missing another game while dealing with soreness in his right knee. Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters before the game that Realmuto was able to workout and hit in the cage prior to the game, but it’s not known if he will be able to play Wednesday. The Phillies will have Garrett Stubbs start behind the plate and hit ninth. Realmuto is still considered day-to-day, but a trip to the injured list can’t be ruled out just yet.

  • Held out again Tuesday
    Realmuto (knee) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mets.

    Advice: It will be the third straight start Realmuto has missed as he deals with right knee soreness. There doesn't seem to be concern yet about a potential injured-list stint for Realmuto, but the possibility certainly increases the more time he misses. Garrett Stubbs will again handle the catching duties for the Phillies on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:35 am
     
  • Homer, three walks in win
    Moreno went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, three walks and two total runs scored in Monday's 6-5 win over the Reds.

    Advice: The homer was Moreno's first of the year, and this was the second game of the season in which he had multiple walks. He's gotten off to a slow start with the bat, hitting .248 through 33 contests, but he's made up for it with a 12.8 percent walk rate, easily the best of his career. Moreno has added 16 RBI, 12 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 117 plate appearances while serving as Arizona's primary catcher. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:26 pm
     
  • Will Smith delivers in 10th as Dodgers down Giants
    Will Smith delivered a two-run double in the top of the 10th to propel the Dodgers past the Giants 6-4 on Monday.

    Advice: It was his second hit of the game. Smith hit .258., 260 and .261 the last three years, but he’s at .309 right now, and he has the exit velocity numbers to somewhat back it up. He’ll probably fade as the foul tips and other catching maladies pile up, but he’s been one of the NL’s best players to date. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:42 pm
