PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Phillies placed catcher J.T. Realmuto on the COVID-19-related injured list Thursday and recalled catcher Rafael Marchan from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Realmuto, who left Tuesday’s game against the Washington Nationals after taking a foul ball off his left knee, missed Wednesday’s game because of bruising and soreness.
Realmuto is hitting .314 with four homers and 16 RBIs. The two-time All-Star is in the first season of a five-year, $115.5 million deal.

Albert Pujols has cleared waivers and is now a free agent for the second time in his career, officially bringing his tenure with the Angels to an end.
Pujols, 41, was designated for assignment May 6, a procedural move that served as the first step toward his release.
After being designated for assignment, players are placed on waivers. Because Pujols, who was in the last season of a 10-year, $240 million contract, went unclaimed, he is free to sign with any team.
