Rutschman’s Elbow Crisis | MLB News

0:00It's September 1st. MOP News. Today starts now. AI-powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Alright, let's talk about Adley Rutchman. The Red Sox catcher is sitting out for a second day in a row because his right elbow is still acting up. It's a hyper-extended elbow, and the word is that this might be something he's dealing with for the rest of the season. This whole thing started back on August 24th, during a game against the Marlins. He felt it on a swing, and it was bad enough that he missed the last two games of that series. He did try to play through it over the weekend against the Yankees, even getting a few hits in one of the games. But it's been a tough stretch for him since he joined the team from the Orioles at the trade deadline back in August. In the 15 games he's played, he's only hitting .170. That's a pretty low number, especially for a guy who's been an All Star 3 times. The Interim Manager, Chad Tracey, mentioned this discomfort is likely to linger. So, even though he's a talented player, it looks like we'll be seeing him in and out

1:00of the lineup as he manages this elbow issue. It's always tough when a key player is dealing with injuries, especially when it affects their performance on the field. We'll just have to see how he progresses through the rest of the season.
