Orioles' Rutschman Lands on IL Again
21 Jul
Summary
- Adley Rutschman placed on IL with left wrist inflammation.
- This is Rutschman's third IL stint this season.
- Orioles and Red Sox are on winning streaks, chasing wild card.
The Baltimore Orioles have placed their All-Star catcher, Adley Rutschman, on the 10-day injured list, citing left wrist inflammation. This recent setback is Rutschman's third time on the injured list this season, having previously missed time in April for left ankle inflammation and in mid-June due to a concussion. Chadwick Tromp has been promoted from Triple-A Norfolk to take Rutschman's place on the active roster.
Rutschman has been batting .251 with eight home runs and 47 RBIs. The team also faces potential challenges with fellow catcher Samuel Basallo, who is considered day-to-day with right shoulder discomfort after hitting 16 homers. The Orioles, who entered Monday on a season-high seven-game winning streak, faced the Boston Red Sox, who were on a 13-game winning streak. Both teams are competing for a wild card spot in the American League East race.
