US EditionOrioles catcher Adley Rutschman returns to injured list with oblique strain
Adley Rutschman faces a second oblique strain in two months, batting a career-low .227 this season, challenging Orioles' lineup stability as rookie Basallo steps up.
- On Thursday, the Baltimore Orioles placed Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique, a move retroactive to Aug 18 and his second IL stint in two months.
- After a left oblique injury sidelined Adley Rutschman from June 20-July 28, he returned from the IL less than a month ago before this new strain.
- This season, Rutschman has a career-low.227 batting average with nine home runs and 29 RBIs in 348 plate appearances across 85 games.
- Rookie Samuel Basallo will step into the starting lineup as the primary catcher, with interim manager Tony Mansolino expecting him to catch about five or six games during the eight-game homestand against Houston and Boston.
- The club's injury toll — 27 players on the IL this season — and twelve currently on the injured list increase roster strain, and Tony Mansolino declined to set a timetable for Adley Rutschman's return as the season winds down.
