Orioles Put All-Star Adley Rutschman on 10-Day IL as Club Says It Is Listening on Trade Offers

Rutschman’s left-wrist inflammation and Baltimore’s catcher depth are reshaping the team’s Aug. 3 trade-deadline choices and short-term roster plans.

Overview

  • The Orioles placed catcher Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation, a move the club made retroactive to Sunday to open an active roster spot.
  • Baltimore immediately promoted Chadwick Tromp from Triple-A and designated outfielder Rudy Martin Jr. for assignment while Sam Huff started as the primary catcher in place of Rutschman.
  • Backup Samuel Basallo left Sunday’s game with right shoulder discomfort and is listed day-to-day, leaving the team to carry Tromp, Basallo and Huff for the moment.
  • The club is on a seven-game winning streak and back in wild-card contention, and insiders say Baltimore is listening to offers for Rutschman though his injury, contract status and Basallo’s long-term deal make a pre-deadline trade less likely.
  • Rutschman is a three-time All-Star who has already had two previous IL stints this season, so his injury history and elite defensive value are central to how Baltimore weighs selling him versus pushing to add pieces for a playoff push.
