Red Sox monitor Adley Rutschman and Willson Contreras injury statuses

The Red Sox are managing the injury status of catcher Adley Rutschman, who has been sidelined for three consecutive games due to a hyperextended right elbow. While interim manager Chad Tracy noted that imaging revealed bone bruising, the club remains hopeful for Rutschman's return for Thursday’s series opener in Baltimore. He is currently available off the bench in emergencies, though the team continues to monitor his progress to avoid a stint on the injured list. Meanwhile, first baseman Willson Contreras is beginning his recovery from a left hamstring strain that placed him on the injured list Monday. Contreras expressed optimism about his rehabilitation following his first session of running with trainers. He sustained the injury in New York after attempting to play through discomfort that originated in early August.
