The Phillies
placed Realmuto on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right knee pain, and he's scheduled to undergo a meniscectomy Wednesday.
ANALYSISAccording to
Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Realmuto has been playing through the injury for nearly a month, and the Phillies elected to address the injury now rather than attempting to wait things out.
Gelb also reports that Realmuto will miss roughly a month, potentially setting him up for a mid-July return from the shelf.
Rafael Marchan was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move and should serve as the backup catcher to
Garrett Stubbs.
