According to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Phillies plan to designate veteran backstop Garrett Stubbs for assignment.

Once the move is made official, the club will have five days to trade him or to put him through waivers. Stubbs, 33, played in 35 games for the Phillies during the 2026 campaign, slashing .153/.215/.153 with zero homers, three RBI and a 15/3 K/BB ratio over 65 plate appearances.

J.T. Realmuto is absent from the Phillies’ starting lineup for Thursday evening’s showdown against the Mets.

The 35-year-old backstop has started behind the dish in each of the Phillies’ last five games, so he’ll get a breather in this one heading into the weekend. Garrett Stubbs will do the catching for the Phillies and will bat ninth against Mets’ right-hander Nolan McLean.

Stubbs landed on the injured list retroactive to July 18th, so this was a minimum stint for him. He will be in the lineup behind the dish and batting ninth on Tuesday against the Marlins.

Phillies placed C Garrett Stubbs on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 18, with left wrist inflammation.

Stubbs is probably going to miss at least a couple weeks, but it wouldn’t be surprising if this was just a minimum stay to give the Phillies some additional roster flexibility.

J.T. Realmuto (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Padres.

Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly told reporters he expects Realmuto back in Wednesday’s lineup. He’ll receive some additional time off to rest and recover after leaving Sunday’s series finale against the Dodgers with a left wrist contusion. The 35-year-old backstop is day-to-day for the moment. It’ll be Garrett Stubbs behind the plate for the Phillies on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park.

The Athletic’s Matt Gelb reports that J.T. Realmuto will be placed on the 10-day injured list with his lower back injury.

Realmuto had missed two games but played Tuesday night against the Chicago Cubs; however, he felt that the injury was “too restrictive.” The veteran has played through foot and back injuries this year to slash .259/.344/.352 in 61 plate appearances. Rafael Marchán will likely split time with Garrett Stubbs until Realmuto returns.
