Phillies' J.T. Realmuto to Have Surgery on Knee Injury; No Long-Term Concerns

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto will undergo surgery Friday to "clean up" the meniscus in his right knee, according to manager Gabe Kapler, who said there are no long-term concerns.

Realmuto has not played since a 10-1 loss to Cleveland on Sept. 22 and had an MRI done on his knee Monday night.

"It would pop, just a little discomfort," Realmuto told reporters about when he noticed the injury against Cleveland. "It wasn't really painful [Sunday], but I woke up [Monday] and it was a little more tender, a little more pain.
