Three unnamed teams have offered catching help to the Phillies since the news broke about s knee surgery, as president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski told . While Philadelphia to look for some kind of short-term depth in Realmutos absence, Dombrowski didnt sound too enamored by the options available thus far, noting that the three clubs approached the Phillies about the available catchers: Thats usually probably not a good sign, that theyre trying to get rid of them. Rather than the opposite way where youre pursuing them . Since Realmuto is slated to mi s roughly a month, Dombrowski seems content to take a look at our young guys like backup catcher in the interim, so the Phils dont nece sarily feel much pre sure to make a trade. Philadelphias outstanding 47-22 record also provides a bit more breathing room, as the Phillies have the National Leagues best Jalen Brunson Jersey record and look like a lock to return to the playoffs. Dombrowski naturally expected his team to be good, but admitted that a .681 win percentage even exceeded his expectations, especially considering that the Phils have been without for the majority of the season. Turners impending return is an upgrade on its own, and in terms of other po sible trade deadline additions, Dombrowski said its way, way, way, way, way too early to start acce sing how the market might take shape. Dombrowski cited bullpen depth as one po sible area to explore, and doesnt seem to think the Phillies will pursue a were going to trade three top prospects type of blockbuster trade. The PBO is also cognizant of how adding and subtracting from the roster might impact team chemistry, as obviously Dombrowski doesnt want to disrupt what has been a winning formula for the Phillies to date. More from around the NL East The Nationals placed on the 10-day IL earlier this week, and manager Davey Martinez provided reporters (including ) yesterday with some unfortunate context, as Gallos left hamstring strain is significant . No more specifics were given about the severity of the strain or how long exactly the Nats expect Gallo to be sidelined, yet it would seem unlikely that he would be back in action before the All-Star break. Gallo already mi sed three weeks earlier this season recovering from an AC joint sprain his left shoulder, and this latest injury compounds what has been a miserable 2024 campaign for the veteran. After signing a one-year, $5MM free agent deal with Washington this past winter, Gallo has hit only .164/.285/.321 over 165 plate appearances, and striking out 71 times. is likely to throw a bullpen se sion soon, Braves manager Brian Snitker told and other media, as the left-hander continues to recover from inflammation in his left hip. It would appear that Minter is just about on track with the one-month timeline initially projected for his recovery, as he has started throwing side se sions to warm up his arm. A longtime staple of the Atlanta bullpen, Minter had a 2.95 ERA in 21 1/3 innings this season before hitting the IL. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Jersey
