Rafael Marchán: Breaking News

Marchan will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs. Marchan will get the call behind the plate for the Phillies' first game following top backstop J.T. Realmuto's (back) placement on the injured list. Though the Phillies called up Garrett Stubbs from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to provide another option behind the plate, the playing time at catcher will likely tilt in Marchan's favor while Realmuto is on the shelf. Marchan has gone just 2-for-31 at the dish this season, but he's made one of those hits count by slugging a two-run home run.

Marchan went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and was also a hit by a pitch in Monday's 13-2 victory over the Phillies. Marchan made his first appearance of the season to give J.T. Realmuto a rare game off, and he made the most of that chance. He was one of the lone bright spots in an otherwise forgettable game for the Phillies, accounting for the team's only runs with his two-run shot in the fifth inning off of Foster Griffin. The 27-year-old had just two homers in 42 games last year, so he's already halfway to that mark to begin 2026.

General manager Dave Dombrowski said Sunday that Marchan has won a spot on the Phillies' Opening Day roster, Ty Daubert of PhilliesNation.com reports. Marchan was able to win the backup catcher job over Garrett Stubbs, whom Dombrowski said will be designated for assignment if the Phillies are unable to find a trade partner by Wednesday. J.T. Realmuto re-signed with the Phillies on a three-year deal over the winter and should continue to see the overwhelming majority of the starts behind the dish, but Marchan could see at least a slight uptick in opportunities in 2026. Despite staying healthy for the entire 2025 campaign, Marchan was limited to just 118 plate appearances with the big club and slashed .210/.282/.305 with two home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs.
