Boston Red Sox catcher Adley Rutschman remains sidelined with elbow discomfort
Summary

The Boston Red Sox have held catcher Adley Rutschman out of the lineup for the third consecutive game as he manages right elbow discomfort. Manager Chad Tracy confirmed before Wednesday’s game against the Seattle Mariners that Rutschman is not yet ready to return. Connor Wong continues to serve as the primary catcher for the Red Sox during this absence. Rutschman has struggled to find his rhythm at the plate since joining Boston via a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, recording only one hit in four at-bats over 15 games. The team remains in a tight American League wild card race with a 75-64 record. The Red Sox hope the catcher can return to the lineup for the series opener on Thursday against his former team, the Baltimore Orioles, pending his recovery overnight.
