2025 Fantasy Outlook
By all accounts, Stubbs is excellent at the off-field parts of the backup catcher job, expertly handling the clubhouse playlist. On the field, he's a lifetime .215/.294/.311 hitter with sub-par framing numbers. Being J.T. Realmuto's backup has minimized Stubbs' on-field flaws, as Stubbs spent much more time on the bench than a typical backup catcher, but that could change going forward as the team seeks to give Realmuto's 34-year-old legs more of a rest. That could mean more opportunities for Stubbs, but it could also mean that Stubbs loses his roster spot to Rafael Marchan, who no longer has options remaining and has a better chance of being a viable starter once Realmuto leaves.

Signed a one-year contract with the Phillies in November of 2024.
Optioned to Triple-A
The Phillies optioned Stubbs to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis
This transaction locks in Rafael Marchan as the backup catcher behind J.T. Realmuto in Philadelphia to begin the 2025 regular season. Stubbs had a respectable spring with an .804 OPS in 10 games, and he has developed a reputation as a well-liked clubhouse presence, but he is a career .215/.294/.311 hitter in the major leagues.

Stubbs fills the clubhouse hype man part of the backup catcher role expertly, which is good news for the Phillies, as J.T. Realmuto's incredible durability doesn't leave Stubbs with much else to do. In Stubbs' two seasons in Philadelphia, Realmuto has left a total of 64 starts behind the plate available for other catchers; Martin Maldonado has been on the bench for 98 games over that stretch, while every other backstop has sat at least 100 times. That leaves Stubbs with virtually no path to fantasy relevance regardless of how he performs, though his performance last year in limited action did him no favors as far as future opportunities go. In 125 trips to the plate, he slashed just .204/.274/.283 with one home run and two steals. He did not record a single barrel. Stubbs did manage a far better .264/.350/.462 slash line in a similarly small amount of work in 2022, so if an injury to Realmuto does open up extended playing time, it's not impossible to envision Stubbs going on a run, but the likeliest scenario is his value remains limited to the post-game playlist.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to start Monday?
Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia speculates Stubbs will start behind the plate Monday against the Cardinals.
Analysis
The 30-year-old backstop made his first start of the season April 2 as he caught for Spencer Turnbull, and Seidman believes Stubbs will catch for Turnbull again on Monday. The Phillies seem unlikely to officially designated Stubbs as Turnbull's personal catcher, but it could be an avenue to provide starter J.T. Realmuto more regular rest in his age-33 campaign. Stubbs has a .633 OPS across 139 big-league games in his career, so there would be minimal fantasy appeal as a streaming option.
