The 26-year-old was acquired from the Orioles ahead of the summer trade deadline and was dominant in three outings for Lehigh Valley with a 0.56 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across 16 innings.

Aramis Garcia will receive the start behind the plate, and Realmuto should continue to be considered day-to-day.
