Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto, who took a 97-mph fastball off his left wrist in today's third inning, has been diagnose

What happened: Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto was hit on the left wrist by a 97-mph fastball in the third inning of Wednesday's game. He has been diagnosed with a contusion and will undergo further evaluation, according to a report from Alden Gonzalez.

Why it matters: Realmuto is the Phillies' everyday catcher and a central piece of their lineup, so any wrist issue carries weight for a club fighting to keep pace in the National League. Even a contusion that lingers could force Philadelphia to lean on its backup behind the plate while awaiting clarity from further tests.

What to watch: Watch for results of the further evaluation, which will determine whether Realmuto needs to miss time or can stay in the lineup.
