Adley Rutschman doubles in first Triple-A rehab start for Red Sox
Key Points:
- Adley Rutschman made his debut in the Red Sox organization on Saturday, beginning a Minor League rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester after being acquired from the Orioles.
- Returning from left wrist inflammation, Rutschman played five innings behind the plate, throwing out a base stealer and contributing offensively with a two-run double, two walks, and two runs scored.
- The Red Sox plan to have Rutschman DH for Worcester on Sunday, after which they will decide whether he needs additional Minor League time or will join the major league team in Toronto for a four-game series starting Monday.
- Interim manager Chad Tracy emphasized confidence in Rutschman’s self-awareness and the medical staff’s guidance to manage his workload carefully during the rehab process.
