Red Sox Provide Injury Update on Adley Rutschman During Winning Streak

The Boston Red Sox are currently enjoying an eight-game winning streak as they prepare for a weekend series against the Athletics. The team has gained significant momentum, positioning itself as one of the top contenders in Major League Baseball.

Interim manager Chad Tracy shared positive news regarding catcher Adley Rutschman, who has been out due to wrist inflammation. Rutschman may start a rehab assignment this weekend, likely with Triple-A Worcester, and could return to the major league roster as soon as next week if all goes well.

Rutschman has been sidelined since July 20 after being acquired from the Baltimore Orioles. The Red Sox traded three top prospects and catcher Carlos Narváez for the 28-year-old, indicating their commitment to enhancing the team for a late-season push. Before his injury, Rutschman had played 67 games, achieving a .251 batting average with 30 runs, 62 hits, eight home runs, and 47 RBIs. His return could significantly bolster the Red Sox's lineup as they aim for continued success in the season's final stretch.
