No need to panic about J.T. Realmuto
J.T. Realmuto (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Washington Nationals, but there’s no need to panic over the health of the best catcher in baseball.
He’s day-to-day after taking a foul ball to the knee in the seventh inning of Tuesday’s game. The good thing is the ball hit him in the muscle on the inside of the knee as opposed to the bone. Joe Girardi is confident that Realmuto will be available to hit and catch off the bench in Wednesday’s game.
