Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Returning to Boston lineup
Rutschman (elbow) will start at catcher and bat third in Friday's game against the Royals.
Rutschman was administered a cortisone injection earlier this week to combat a hyperextended right elbow. He sat out the last two games to allow the shot to take effect, and now he's ready to roll. Rutschman is slashing .188/.253/.391 with four home runs in 19 games since joining the Red Sox.

Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Expected back in lineup Friday
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Wednesday that Rutschman was given a cortisone injection in his right elbow following Monday's game versus the Angels, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
It explains why Rutschman is missing a second straight start Wednesday. The catcher suffered a hyperextended elbow in late August and has been dealing with nagging soreness off-and-on since. Tracy said that Rutschman is expected back in the lineup Friday against the Royals following the team's day off Thursday.

Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Out of Boston lineup
Rutschman is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Angels.
It's the second straight day that Rutschman's name has not appeared in Boston's starting lineup. He's dealt with a hyperextended right elbow recently and that issue could be flaring up again, though the Red Sox have yet to reveal whether Rutschman is hurt or is simply resting. Mickey Gasper is doing the catching for the Red Sox in Wednesday's series finale.

Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Exiting starting nine
Rutschman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.
The switch-hitting Rutschman has been better against righties (.789 OPS) than lefties (.640 OPS) this season, so he'll get a break as the Angels send southpaw Reid Detmers to the hill. Connor Wong will do the catching and will bat ninth for the Red Sox.

Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Smacks three-run homer Monday
Rutschman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Angels.
Rutschman supplied the biggest swing of Boston's four-run second inning, turning on a 97.8 mph fastball from former Orioles teammate Grayson Rodriguez and sending it off the Pesky Pole for a three-run homer. The blast was Rutschman's 12th of the season and fourth since joining Boston. He's hit safely in four of his last six games, so he could be gearing up for a strong finish over the last few weeks of the regular season.

Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Makes splash in return to Baltimore
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.

After missing each of Boston's last three games due to a lingering elbow injury, Rutschman will return to the starting nine for the beginning of a four-game set against his former club. The 28-year-old has struggled mightily since joining the Red Sox at the trade deadline, slashing just .170/.254/.245 across his last 59 plate appearances.

Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Remains out Wednesday
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's Adley Rutschman: Elbow injury lingering
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.

Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Receiving rest Monday
Rutschman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
After he had been recently managing an elbow injury, Rutschman started behind the plate in three of the Red Sox's four games against the Yankees over the weekend, going 3-for-12 with two runs during that stretch. 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.

Rutschman (elbow) is back in the lineup for Boston's matchup with the Yankees on Friday.
Rutschman sat out the final two games of the series against the Marlins but will start behind the plate for Friday's series opener. The 28-year-old has struggled since coming over to Boston, batting .146/.255/.244 with one homer and four RBI over 47 plate appearances. The switch hitter will bat fifth for the Red Sox as Connor Wong moves back to the bench Friday.

Connor Wong will start behind the dish in the series finale Wednesday.

Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Managing elbow issue
Interim manager Chad Tracy said that Rutschman will sit out Tuesday's game against Miami due to right elbow irritation, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
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.
