Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
J.T. Realmuto recently returned from the injured list after dealing with back spasms (activated May 2, 2026). Since his return, he has appeared in 13 of 16 games behind the plate. He went 4-for-14 with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored in his first four games back. He has been receiving regular rest days as interim manager Don Mattingly is managing his workload given his age (35 years old). Recent performance includes a 1-for-4 game with a double and 2 RBI on May 5. The team is being cautious with his playing time to avoid overextending him early in the season.
