Phillies' J.T. Realmuto to Undergo Right Knee Meniscectomy, Placed on IL; Rafael Marchán Recalled

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto will undergo right knee meniscectomy surgery tomorrow in Philadelphia to repair a meniscus issue. He has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 10, due to right knee pain. To fill his spot on the active roster, catcher Rafael Marchán has been recalled from Triple-A. Realmuto had previously missed three games last month with knee soreness and had been managing the injury since then. Phillies manager Rob Thomson had indicated that Realmuto would get more rest, but the need for surgery suggests the issue has become more severe. Realmuto is considered the Phillies' most indispensable player.
