Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Makes splash in return to Baltimore
Rotowire
Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-5 win over Baltimore.
Returning to Camden Yards for the first time since being traded to Boston, Rutschman recorded his first multi-homer game as a member of the Red Sox and second of 2026. The switch-hitting backstop also returned to the starting lineup after missing each of Boston's previous three contests due to a nagging elbow injury, looking no worse for wear in the process. Through 63 trips to the plate with his new team, Rutschman is still slashing just .193/.270/.368 with three long balls, one double, six RBI and eight runs scored.

Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Remains out Wednesday
Rotowire
Rutschman (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mariners.
Rutschman has missed three straight starts and has been in the lineup just three times over Boston's last nine contests as he battles a hyperextended right elbow. It's an injury he might have to deal with for the remainder of the season, though there's been no indication to this point that the Red Sox are mulling a stint on the injured list. Connor Wong will get the nod behind the plate again Wednesday.
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said in an interview on WEEI that Rutschman will not be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mariners due to a lingering hyperextended right elbow injury, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Rutschman missed two games last week after hyperextending his elbow on a swing. He returned to action over the weekend but will now miss a second straight contest. Tracy noted Tuesday that Rutschman will likely have to deal with some discomfort in the elbow for the rest of the season, though it doesn't seem at this point that a trip to the injured list is under consideration. Rutschman is slashing only .170/.254/.245 in 15 games since joining the Red Sox.

Rutschman isn't believed to have suffered a setback with his elbow coming out of the series with New York, so he's presumably just getting a maintenance day Monday.

Boston's skipper noted that Rutschman hyperextended his elbow while taking an aggressive swing in Monday's contest and felt sore afterward. The Red Sox aren't overly concerned about the 28-year-old's elbow, but they'll give him a day off Tuesday as a precaution. Connor Wong will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.
