BOSTON — New Red Sox catcher Adley Rutschman spent his fourth day with the club doing a full battery of baseball activities Friday, and there's a sense among club decision-makers that he could return from the injured list and make his club debut rather soon.
Rutschman, who is on the IL with wrist inflammation, could go out on a rehab **** ignment as soon as this weekend, interim manager Chad Tracy said Friday, though no decision has been made on a specific date yet.
"It's possible. I'll just leave it at that," said Tracy. "We have not discussed an exact date on that yet. He's doing some more stuff today, doing some more check-ins. We're still ironing down what's going to happen there based on how he feels and what everybody thinks. We don't know yet, but I'd answer that and say it's possible."
(UPDATE: Rutschman will begin a rehab **** ignment in Worcester on Saturday, Tracy said after Friday's blowout win over the A's.)
Rutschman last played in a game for the Orioles on July 18 in Houston before being sidelined with the wrist injury. When the Red Sox acquired him Monday for a package of Carlos Narváez, Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon, Enddy Azocar and a player to be named later, they knew he wouldn't take the field right away. Boston's medical staff has taken the past four days to gather information from Rutschman about how he feels.
