OCTOBER 2, 2023

Returns to lineup Rutschman (illness) is starting at catcher and batting second Saturday against Boston.

Impact Rutschman was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game due to illness, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Saturday's contest. The 25-year-old backstop has gone 7-for-17 with a homer and four RBI over his last five games and will attempt to remain hot as the Orioles prepare for a postseason run.

Likely available Saturday Manager Brandon Hyde said Rutschman (illness) will "probably" be available for Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Rutschman was scratched from the lineup Friday because he was feeling under the weather the day after the Orioles clinched the AL East title. James McCann filled in at catcher and went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts in Baltimore's sleepy 2-0 loss to Boston.

Scratched from lineup Friday Rutschman was scratched from the lineup Friday versus the Red Sox for undisclosed reasons, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact This could just be a normal day of rest for Rutschman after the Orioles officially clinched the AL East title Thursday. James McCann is now catching and batting eighth against the Red Sox and right-hander Nick Pivetta.

Homers, collects three RBI Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

Impact Rutschman jumped on a hanging four-seamer from Patrick Corbin in the bottom of the third and crushed it over the wall in left-center field to put the Orioles on top 2-0. The star catcher would then tack on another run with an RBI single in the fifth as Baltimore went on to win its fourth straight. Rutschman has now recorded multiple hits in four of his last six games while the home run marked his fourth this month and 20th on the season. He's also drawn at least one walk in four consecutive games.

Aaron Judge, Juan Soto headline Ben Verlander's team of the week

Some of the game's top stars put on strong performances to land spots on Ben Verlander's latest team of the week.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023

Racks up three hits Rutschman went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Rutschman has hit safely in five straight games, and he has at least one double in his last four contests. The catcher is slashing .273/.368/.430 with 19 home runs, 75 RBI, 82 runs scored, one stolen base and 29 doubles through 146 contests overall. After a stint as the leadoff hitter, Rutschman has returned to the No. 2 spot in the order.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets breather Tuesday Rutschman isn't in the Orioles' lineup Tuesday versus Houston, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Despite collecting five hits across his last three games, Rutschman will take a seat to begin Tuesday's contest. James McCann will instead start behind the plate and bat eighth.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits, homer in win Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Rays.

Impact Rustchman cut Baltimore's deficit to 3-2 in the eighth inning with his 19th homer of the year, a solo shot off Pete Fairbanks. He'd add a second RBI with a base hit in the 10th before scoring the winning run in the 11th. It's Rustchman's first multi-hit game since Sept. 8 -- he'd been slumping a bit of late, going 4-for-29 (.138) over his previous eight games. Overall, the 25-year-old catcher is batting .270 with a .789 OPS, 79 runs scored and 73 RBI through 639 plate appearances this season.

Slugs 18th homer Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 11-2 win over the Red Sox.

Impact The backstop played a big role in the rout, and he capped his night by hooking a solo shot off John Schreiber just inside Pesky's Pole in the eighth inning. Rutschman is having a strong finish to his second MLB season, slashing .290/.367/.443 through 33 games since the beginning of August with four of his 18 homers and 23 of his 70 RBI on the season.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Monday Rutschman is not in Monday's lineup against the Angels.

Impact Rutschman is hitting .289 with one home run, five runs and five RBI over his last 10 games. James McCann will start behind the dish, batting eighth.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep Saturday Rutschman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 7-3 win over Arizona on Saturday.

Impact Rutschman plated a run with a fourth-inning single and tacked on another with a seventh-inning solo shot. The long ball snapped a 19-game homerless stretch for the catcher, who had just three extra-base hits (all doubles) over 75 at-bats during that drought. Rutschman nonetheless has maintained a solid .274/.366/.424 slash line on the campaign while exceeding his rookie totals with 17 home runs, 64 RBI and 71 runs over 577 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets rare day off Rutschman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Rutschman often serves as a designated hitter on days that he doesn't catch, but he'll get a proper day off Wednesday in what marks just his third absence from the lineup since the All-Star break. With James McCann stepping in behind the dish, Ryan Mountcastle will get a look as the Orioles' designated hitter. The day off comes while Rutschman has been running hot at the plate, as he's recorded at least one hit in eight of his last nine starts while slashing .333/.366/.359.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stays warm Thursday Rutschman went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Rutschman logged his fifth multi-hit effort in his last seven games. Over that span, he's gone 13-for-29 (.448) with three doubles and three RBI. The catcher was batting .265 on Aug. 15, but he's up to .277 with an .800 OPS, 16 home runs, 61 RBI, 67 runs scored, a stolen base and 22 doubles through 122 games this season. With the Orioles finding success with Rutschman batting leadoff, he should continue in that spot as long as his bat remains hot.

Picks up first steal Rutschman went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Rutschman collected his fourth multi-hit effort in his last five games. He also logged his first steal of the season on his second attempt -- he's run less in 2023, as he had four thefts last season. The catcher is at a .273/.369/.430 slash line with 16 home runs, 59 RBI, 66 runs scored, 22 doubles and a triple through 120 contests overall, maintaining his place as one of the best backstops in baseball.
