Phillies Catcher J.T, Realmuto To Undergo Knee Surgery, Miss Extended Time

Philadelphia Phillies' three-time All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto is set to undergo knee surgery after suffering a torn right meniscus. He will be placed on the 10-day injured list (IL), with Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski initially expecting a month-long absence. 

Our panel of Pro Baseball Docs anticipates a longer recovery period for Realmuto. The injury is particularly concerning for a catcher, as the meniscus is essential for squatting and twisting—key movements for the position.

A provocative test in a doctor's office to diagnose a meniscus injury involves checking if the patient can squat without pain. For a catcher, squatting is a frequent and necessary action, making the meniscus injury especially problematic. 

Given the nature of the position, it is challenging to play through such an issue without experiencing significant pain. If Realmuto's recovery progresses slowly, the situation could become severe enough to require a move to the 60-day IL.

Realmuto's return is expected to be delayed until weeks after the All-Star break, with the hope that he can rejoin the Phillies in time to contribute to their postseason run. 

The recovery and rehabilitation process will be crucial for ensuring that he regains full functionality and minimizes pain while performing his duties behind the plate. The Phillies and their fans are undoubtedly eager for his return, but they must be cautious and patient to ensure a full recovery.
