Adley Rutschman Likely Available Saturday
7 months agoBaltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde says catcher Adley Rutschman (illness) will "probably" be available for Saturday's game versus the Boston Red Sox. The switch-hitting backstop was scratched from Friday's lineup due to an illness and Hyde's phrasing is worth noting, as it doesn't guarantee Rutschman back in the starting lineup for the penultimate game of the regular year. The former top prospect is about to get his first taste of postseason baseball after slashing a rock-solid .277/.374/.436 with 20 home runs, 31 doubles, 79 RBI, and 84 runs scored in 680 plate appearances in his first full season of action. Rutschman will look to pad those numbers if he indeed returns to play Saturday.
