Overview

• Postgame imaging showed no fracture, and the team diagnosed a right index finger contusion.
• Realmuto is out of Wednesday’s lineup as Rafael Marchán starts at catcher, with Rob Thomson noting improved mobility but lingering swelling and pain.
• He is not expected to go on the injured list, preserving his eligibility for the NLDS opener.
• He was hit by a foul tip in the ninth inning Tuesday, stayed to finish the frame, then was lifted after he couldn’t grip a bat; Philadelphia lost 6-5 in 11 innings.
• With the NL East clinched and a first-round bye one win away, the club could scale back his workload or use DH at-bats in the final games.
