MIAMI (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto left in the fourth inning against the Miami Marlins on Friday night, two innings after fouling a pitch off his left knee.
Realmuto sustained a contusion on the foul ball against Austin Kitchen in the second. He limped away and was treated by a trainer before returning and hitting his second RBI single of the game.
With the Phillies ahead 7-0, Garrett Stubbs hit for Realmuto in the fourth.
The 33-year-old Realmuto, a three-time All-Star, missed 37 games this season because of soreness in his right knee.
