Rutschman's Elbow Issue Could Sideline Him for Rest of Season
The Red Sox catcher is out of the lineup again with an elbow problem that team sources suggest may not fully resolve before the season ends.
Adley Rutschman has been scratched from the Red Sox lineup against the Mariners due to a lingering elbow issue. The injury is significant enough that it could affect his availability for the rest of the season. This marks at least the second consecutive absence tied to the same elbow problem. The Red Sox will need to rely on backup catching options while managing Rutschman's health.
