Rupp is out of the lineup Friday, the News Journal's Meghan Montemurro reports.
He will give way to Carlos Ruiz behind the plate Friday after starting five of the last seven games. Considering how much of a wasteland the catcher position is, Rupp has been pretty serviceable in the early going on the strength of his .282 average alone, but that mark is slated for heavy regression (.370 BABIP, career .306 BABIP) going forward, and he'll soon be waiver wire fodder in most one-catcher formats.
