Realmuto Exits Early After HBP on Left Wrist

Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto was struck by a Yamamoto fastball and left the game in the fourth inning, though x-rays came back negative.

He stayed in briefly but was replaced by Rafael Marchan before the fourth inning. Manager Don Mattingly said Realmuto couldn't squeeze, couldn't swing, and had trouble catching. X-rays were negative and Mattingly expressed optimism, but Realmuto may also sit Tuesday when the Phillies open a homestand against San Diego.
