The Philadelphia Phillies will carry three catchers into their National League Wild Card Series against the Atlanta Braves starting Tuesday at Truist Park. Philadelphia, which clinched the final Wild Card berth with an 88-74 record, selected J.T. Realmuto, Garrett Stubbs, and Rafael Marchan for the active postseason roster due to depleted organizational depth and injuries.
