Rutschman is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

Connor Wong will catch for Ranger Suarez and bat ninth against Rays lefty Ian Seymour. Rutschman has swatted three homers this month and is hitting .211 with a .776 OPS across 40 plate appearances during that span.

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 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.

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.

Rutschman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.

1w agoRotowire

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.
