Adley Rutschman Dealing with Abdominal Tightness
Adley Rutschman was scratched from the team's lineup on Friday against the Yankees due to what's being described as abdominal tightness. Interim manager Tony Mansolino stated that the issue "flared up" during batting practice, and that Rutschman will be examined with more information to come on Saturday. For now, consider the 27-year-old day-to-day. If it is anything more than a minor injury, it would be very unfortunate timing, as after a poor start to the season, the switch-hitter had begun to turn things around in June. The 6-foot-2 slugger was hitting .309 with five extra-base hits (two doubles, three home runs) and a 7:8 BB:K through 15 games this month. The hot stretch had only pulled his season-long slash line to .227/.319/.372.
