Rupp (head) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.
Rupp was hit in the head with a fastball from erratic right-hander Tyler Glasnow on Saturday, which ultimately forced his exit from the game. Although he did not show any concussion symptoms, Rupp had caught three straight for the Phillies and was likely in line for a day off Sunday anyway. Whether it's injury-related or not, Carlos Ruiz will take over behind the plate for the afternoon contest. Consider Rupp day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against the Marlins.
