Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto underwent a meniscectomy on his right knee, expecting a four-week recovery period, aiming to return before the All-Star break. The procedure was a cleanup, not a repair, similar to one he had in 2019, with a small piece of cartilage removed. Realmuto initially tried to play through the injury but opted for surgery due to worsening pain affecting his performance. He is optimistic about a quick recovery, recalling a similar experience with his left knee surgery in 2019.
