J.T. Realmuto likely to start season on DL

J.T. Realmuto appears he will not be ready for Opening Day, and will likely start the season on the disabled list.

Fantasy Implications: Realmuto has not fully recovered from a lower-back contusion he suffered in a Grapefruit League game against the Yankees on March 11.  According to manager Don Mattingly, it is "highly likely" the 27-year-old backstop will land on the DL. The ailment is not believed to be too serious, but a timetable for recovery has not been given. Tomas Telis is expected to take over for Realmuto behind the plate to start the season.
