Giants' Josh Rutledge: Comes up short in roster battle
Josh Rutledge was informed Tuesday that he did not make the San Francisco Giants' Opening Day roster, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.Rutledge put together a strong spring performance -- slashing .324/.381/.486 in 37 at-bats -- but ultimately came up short in his battle with Kelby Tomlinson to secure a reserve utility infield role with the Giants.

Giants' Josh Rutledge: In mix for bench role
Josh Rutledge is being considered for one of the San Francisco Giants' final roster spots this spring, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.Kelby Tomlinson has been expected to fill the Giants' backup middle infield role, but Rutledge's presence this late in camp suggests that a final decision has not been made yet. The 28-year-old slashed .224/.297/.262 in 118 plate appearances with the Red Sox last season, so he wouldn't gain much fantasy value even in the scenario where he makes the cut and has to fill in for an injured starter at some point this year.

Josh Rutledge (hip) signed a minor-league contract with the San Francisco Giants on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.Rutledge is coming off an injury-filled campaign that saw him appear in just 37 games for the Red Sox due to a hamstring injury, a concussion and season-ending hip surgery he underwent in August.

Josh Rutledge: Hits open market
Josh Rutledge (hip) was taken off the 60-day disabled list, and elected free agency instead of accepting an outright assignment by the Red Sox on Thursday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.Rutledge underwent season-ending hip surgery in late-August after dealing with a concussion for the better part of June and July. The third baseman will look to sign on with a new club this winter following a 2017 season in which he played 37 major-league games, slashing .224/.297/.262 with nine RBI. Looking ahead, he should be fully healed by spring training, barring any setbacks.

Red Sox's Josh Rutledge: Undergoes season-ending hip surgery
Josh Rutledge underwent season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his left hip Wednesday and is expected to be ready for the 2018 season, Sean McAdam of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.Since Rutledge did not spend 90 days on the active roster, the Rule 5 rules will still be attached to him until he gets to the 90-day mark on the active roster between 2017 and 2018. This means that if the Boston Red Sox want to keep him in the system, he needs to be on the active roster for roughly 30 days in 2018 and cannot be optioned until after the 2018 season. Rutledge hit .224/.297/.262 in 107 big-league at-bats this season.

Red Sox's Josh Rutledge: Moves to 60-day DL
Josh Rutledge (hip) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Monday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.The Boston Red Sox needed to open a spot on the 40-man roster for recent acquisition Addison Reed, and given that the infielder will be on the shelf a bit longer due to a newfound hip injury, he'll give up his roster spot for the club's new reliever. Rutledge has already missed more than a month of action, so this designation will allow him to return to the active roster by the end of August if he's ready.

Red Sox's Josh Rutledge: Dealing with hip issue
Josh Rutledge (concussion) was recalled from his rehab assignment Friday because of a hip injury, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.Rutledge had been out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket, but will be reevaluated following this setback, remaining on the 7-day concussion disabled list for the time being. It's been a rough month for the infielder, as he was initially placed on the 10-day disabled list due to left hip soreness in late June, but was then switched over to the concussion list just a day later. More news on the situation should be revealed in the near future, although there doesn't appear to be a clear-cut role for Rutledge on the big-league club at the present time.

Red Sox's Josh Rutledge: Reinstated from disabled list Friday
Josh Rutledge (concussion) was activated from the 7-day concussion disabled list prior to Friday's game against the Royals, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.Rutledge spent over a month on the disabled list while dealing with a head injury, but he's slowly worked back to full health after appearing in five rehab games with Triple-A Pawtucket. The 28-year-old looks a tad rusty, going just 1-for-16 at the plate during his time with Pawtucket, but should provide infield depth for the Boston Red Sox upon his arrival.
