J.T. Realmuto Exits Early with Aggravated Back Tightness

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto was removed from Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves after aggravating a lower back injury originally sustained during Friday's contest. He was replaced behind the plate as a precautionary measure during the game. While the team has not provided a specific timeline for his return or the severity of the tightness, his status for upcoming games remains uncertain. Further evaluation is expected Sunday following a review by the Phillies' medical staff.
