Phillies Catcher Crunch Hits Hard | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description
The Phillies are in a catcher crunch after both backup catchers, Garrett Stubbs and Rafael Marchán, went on the injured list in quick succession—Stubbs with wrist inflammation, Marchán with knee tendinitis—leaving J.T. Realmuto as the only active catcher. To plug the gap, they’ve recalled Payton Henry from Triple-A, who’s hitting .200 but boasts a strong track record of throwing out base stealers. Making room required sending pitcher Brad Keller to the 60-day IL. With the trade deadline just days away, GM Jim Bowden is likely scouting options to bolster the position, as the team now faces pressure to stabilize the backstop with limited options.
