Rutschman’s Return Could Seal Wild Card | Sports News

Boston Red Sox are being extra cautious with catcher Adley Rutschman, who’s sidelined with lingering elbow soreness from a recent hyperextension — but they’re hopeful he’ll be ready by Friday, September 11th. Acquired at the trade deadline from Baltimore, Rutschman has been a game-changer this season: hitting .236 with 9 homers and 51 RBIs, while also elevating the pitching staff with elite framing and defense. With Boston sitting at 80-65 and in strong wild card position, his return could be a major playoff boost — and the team’s priority is getting him fully healthy before October starts.
