Reaches four times in win Rutschman went 2-for-3 with a run and two walks in Saturday's victory over the Pirates.
Impact Rutschman reached base four times for the second time in five games, and after getting on a total of 15 times over that span, his OPS on the season is now up to .809. Rutschman has regularly hit second of late, and with Trey Mancini no longer on the roster, it's likely that arrangement will continue.

Picks up second steal Rutschman went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 1-0 win over the Pirates.
Impact The rookie catcher was able to turn his patience into some fantasy value even without benefit of a hit, snatching his second big-league stolen base. Rutschman has been locked in since the All-Star break, slashing .357/.526/.524 through his last 13 games with a 13:8 BB:K, seven doubles, three RBI and 10 runs. The 24-year-old hasn't quite unlocked all of his power potential yet, but he's well on his way to living up to the hype as the first overall pick in the 2019 draft.

Two doubles in Monday's win Rutschman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, an RBI and a run in Monday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.
Impact After seeing his five-game hitting streak come to an end in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Reds, Rutschman resumed raking in the series opener in Texas. Dating back to June 10, the rookie ranks first in the majors among all catchers in on-base percentage (.393), OPS (.932) and doubles (19), making him worth the wait for those who invested in him on draft day even though he didn't make his MLB debut until late May.

Running hot out of break Rutschman went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk Sunday in the Orioles' 6-0 loss to the Yankees.
Impact Rutschman opened his big-league career by hitting just .143 in his first 15 games with Baltimore, but the 24-year-old appears to have found his comfort zone at the plate ever since. In his 34 games that have followed, Rutschman has slashed .284/.368/.560 with five home runs, 20 runs, 17 RBI and a stolen base, with his leap forward offensively coinciding with the Orioles' rise up the American League East standings. The rookie will take a five-game extra-base-hit streak into Monday's series opener with the Rays.

The backstop came through with a solo shot to right field to tie the score, and he put Baltimore on top with a sacrifice fly in the 10th. This was one of Rutschman's best performances in a mostly quiet rookie campaign during which he's slashed .215/.298/.411 with five homers, 15 RBI and one stolen base over 178 plate appearances.
