Red Sox give explanation for Adley Rutschman’s removal from the lineup

The Boston Red Sox are going all in on this season. The club addressed their weakest position at this past trade deadline when they sent a hefty prospect package to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for three-time All-Star Adley Rutschman.

The 28-year-old switch-hitting catcher was in the midst of a resurgent season, posting a .249 batting average, .334 on-base percentage, .761 OPS, eight home runs and 47 RBIs across 69 games.
