Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Analysis: The Phillies have the No. 1 wild-card seed locked up, so it's not a surprise Realmuto is on the bench for the regular-season finale. The 32-year-old's .762 OPS in 135 games this year will be the lowest since his first full MLB season in 2015.
J.T. Realmuto Idle for nightcap
Realmuto isn't in the Phillies' lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Analysis: Realmuto will get a breather to conclude Saturday's activities after going 2-for-3 and scoring a run during a Game 1 loss. Garrett Stubbs will fill in behind the plate and bat seventh.
