Adley Rutschman Getting Another Day Off
4 months agoBaltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman is taking another day off on Wednesday in the series finale against the visiting division-rival Toronto Blue Jays. With Rutschman taking the day off, James McCann will make the start behind the plate and will bat ninth against Blue Jays right-hander Paolo Espino despite breaking his nose on a hit-by-pitch the other day. The 26-year-old Rutschman has gone just 5-for-36 (.139) with a homer, double, two RBI, six walks and five strikeouts in 10 games since the All-Star break and has received several days off of late as the O's try to get him through his recent funk at the plate. Despite his slump in July, Rutschman remains one of the best hitting catchers in the game and should remain in starting lineups in all fantasy formats. DFS managers should be able to find better options at catcher than McCann.
