Key Points:

- Rutschman has been gradually acclimating by working with pitchers and attending pregame meetings, with a recent two-game rehab stint in Triple-A Worcester helping him assess his readiness.
- Interim manager Chad Tracy noted that Rutschman may need an adjustment period behind the plate and indicated it would be challenging to carry three catchers, potentially reducing playing time for Jake Rogers and Connor Wong.
- The Red Sox made lineup adjustments with Andruw Monasterio sitting out for rest and Masataka Yoshida returning after illness, while the team benefits from having a fuller bench.
- Wilyer Abreu was named American League player of the week after an impressive performance, following Ceddanne Rafaela's similar recent honor.
