97.5 The Fanatic Phillies Notebook: Backup Catchers, Camden Yards Takeover

The Philadelphia Phillies placed J.T. Realmuto on the IL to accommodate a right knee meniscectomy surgery.

Can the Phillies survive a major blow in the area with arguably less depth than any other position on the roster? Career StatisticsMLB Games PlayedHome RunsBatting AverageOPSJ.T.
