Marlins' J.T. Realmuto: Out of Saturday's lineup

Realmuto is not in Saturday's lineup against the Nationals, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

Analysis:

Given how weak the catcher position is, Realmuto will easily finish the year as a top-10 option at the position. His .303 batting average was aided somewhat by a .357 BABIP (career .323 BABIP), but the 11 homers and 12 steals seem like reasonable benchmarks moving forward, as he won't turn 26 until March 18. Jeff Mathis will start behind the dish and hit eighth.
