29 Aug
Summary
- Adley Rutschman returns to the Red Sox lineup after missing two games.
- He experienced right elbow irritation following an aggressive swing on Monday.
- The catcher is scheduled to bat fifth against the Yankees in New York.
Adley Rutschman, the Red Sox catcher, is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. He had been sidelined for the previous two contests due to irritation in his right elbow. This soreness initially surfaced during an aggressive swing he took in Monday's game.
The Red Sox acquired Rutschman at the trade deadline. He has a .236 batting average with a .726 OPS in 70 games this season. Rutschman previously dealt with a wrist injury, which delayed his debut with the team after the trade.
For the upcoming game, Rutschman is slated to bat fifth. Other lineup changes include Wilyer Abreu batting third and Willson Contreras at first base batting cleanup. Nick Sogard will play shortstop and lead off the batting order.
