Philadelphia Phillies two-time All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto has a small fracture in his right thumb and will be evaluated again in two weeks. Realmuto said he’s confident he’ll be ready for the season opener on April 1, but wants to make sure hs thumb has healed. “I’m not very worried about my thumb, so if I was a Phillies fan, I wouldn’t be too worried,“ Realmuto said Thursday. The Phillies already added catcher Jeff Mathis to join Andrew Knapp and Rafael Marchan their catchers.
