Adley Rutschman Scratched on Tuesday With Abdominal Discomfort
Adley Rutschman (abdomen) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park due to right-abdominal discomfort, according to the team. Alex Jackson will now do the catching for right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano and bat ninth against Red Sox right-hander Walker Buehler. Rutschman also did not play in the series opener on Monday, and the 27-year-old's abdominal injury could help explain why he has only three hits in his last 29 games over seven games. With an off day coming on Wednesday, fantasy managers will be hoping that he can return for Thursday's series opener against the Houston Astros. It's been Rutschman's worst MLB season in his fourth year, as he's currently slashing .227/.310/.373 with only nine homers, 29 RBI and 37 runs in just 85 games.
