X-Rays Negative as Phillies List J.T. Realmuto Day-to-Day After Foul Tip to Right Hand

The late-game injury leaves Philadelphia weighing rest with five regular-season games left in the push for a first-round bye.

Overview

  • Realmuto was struck on the right index finger by a ninth-inning foul tip from Miami’s Heriberto Hernández on a splitter from closer Jhoan Duran.
  • After initially staying in, he was lifted to begin the bottom of the ninth and replaced by backup Rafael Marchán, who delivered a leadoff single.
  • The Phillies announced a bruised right index finger with negative X-rays, and manager Rob Thomson said he will be evaluated again Wednesday.
  • Philadelphia lost 6-5 in 11 innings to the Marlins after a rain delay extended the ninth inning, capping a game that had featured seven shutout frames from Cristopher Sánchez.
  • Realmuto is considered day-to-day as the Phillies balance his recovery with securing a first-round bye, which Thomson said remains the immediate target with five games remaining.
