J.T. Realmuto to the IL, Howard to the rotation

Not getting any injury breaks this year, the Phillies today announced that J.T. Realmuto would be headed to the injured list after waiting for a few days to see if his barking wrist would be able to go.

The Phillies are putting J.T. Realmuto on the injured list after six days of playing with a short roster. Matt Joyce is active. Spencer Howard is starting tomorrow. Chase Anderson is in the bullpen.

Realmuto tried all he could to get his wrist ready, but ultimately he just could not get it to the point where he was healthy enough to play.
