The three-time All-Star was placed on the IL on June 11, retroactive to June 10, and had meniscectomy surgery on his right knee on June 12. Realmuto will play against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday, batting fifth."He is a very important guy," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. "But the last couple of years, it's always been next-man-up. Somebody steps up. I really expect that of the guys that we've got.
272 hitters in 11 major league seasons with the Phillies and the Miami Marlins with 161 home runs and 598 RBIs. He had a career-long 17-game hitting streak from May 4-28, the longest for a Phillies player who was mostly a catcher since at least 1900.Thomson said they would be careful with Realmuto for the near future but expects the 33-year-old to return to a full workload within the next few weeks.
