Adley Rutschman Could Have Short Stay on Injured List
Baltimore Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said on Sunday that catcher Adley Rutschman (ankle) got encouraging results from his MRI exam and could have a short stay on the 10-day injured list, per MLB.com's Jake Rill. Rutschman landed on the 10-day injured list last Thursday with left-ankle inflammation, but the good news is he has avoided any structural damage and could be back from the IL when he's eligible to be reinstated on April 21. It's especially good news after it was revealed that first baseman/designated hitter Ryan Mountcastle suffered a fractured foot on Saturday. Until the 28-year-old switch-hitting Rutschman can return, Samuel Basallo will serve as the O's starting catcher, with Maverick Handley backing him up behind the plate. Although Rutschman has yet to homer, he was looking good at the plate before his ankle injury, going 10-for-34 (.294) with three RBI and three runs scored in his first 10 games. Rutschman is a solid bounce-back candidate in 2026 if he can stay healthy going forward after an injury-plagued 2025 campaign.
