Overview
- The three-time All-Star finished a two-game Triple-A rehab stint, catching five innings, going 1-for-5 with a two‑run double, two walks and throwing out a baserunner.
- Rutschman traveled with the Red Sox to Toronto on Sunday and is scheduled for a team workout Monday so club doctors can assess how his left wrist responded to game action.
- If cleared, Boston could add him to the roster as soon as Tuesday, a move that will require making a roster transaction because Jake Rogers and Connor Wong currently handle catching duties.
- The Red Sox acquired Rutschman from the Orioles in a blockbuster Aug. 3 trade that sent several top prospects and catcher Carlos Narváez to Baltimore.
- Club leadership framed the deal as an aggressive, win‑now upgrade to improve defense and the lineup, and his near-term return could change playing time behind the plate and Boston’s postseason planning.
