Adley Rutschman Sitting Out On Thursday
1 month agoBaltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman is not in the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the hosting Miami Marlins. It's just a normal day of rest for the All-Star backstop in a matinee game after a night contest. James McCann will be behind the plate and will bat in the nine-hole for the O's against Marlins right-hander Roddery Munoz. Rutschman will head to the bench after starting each of the team's last 13 games. It's a good time for a break, too, as Rutschman has struggled in the month of July, going just 8-for-56 (.143) with two homers, a double, six RBI, 10 walks and five strikeouts in 15 games played. Despite the recent rough stretch at the plate, Rutschman has been a must-start, high-end fantasy catcher in all formats in his third year in the big leagues. McCann is hitting just .211 (28-for-133) with three homers and 13 RBI in 2024.
