Realmuto Wrist Injury Hits Phillies Hard

J.T. Realmuto’s wrist took a brutal hit from a 97 mph fastball, forcing him out of Sunday’s game with a suspected contusion — a major blow for the Phillies, who rely heavily on his leadership and pitch-calling behind the plate, especially for young ace Andrew Painter. Painter’s shaky outing coincided with Realmuto’s absence, hinting at a troubling trend. Already battered by a foul ball and Ohtani’s bat on Saturday, Realmuto’s durability is legendary — but this could sideline him and shake up the team’s pitching rotation. More tests are pending.
