Adley Rutschman is finally ready to make his debut with the Boston Red Sox.
Rutschman appears set to make his debut with the Red Sox on Tuesday for their matchup with the Toronto Blue Jays. Barring any late setbacks, Rutschman will start with Patrick Sandoval on the mound at Rogers Centre. The two were spotted working in the bullpen on Monday, too.
"For me, it's just excitement," Rutschman said before Monday's 2-1 loss, which opened the four-game series in Canada, via MassLive. "I miss playing. I want to be out there. To be able to go out and play baseball is such a blessing. You realize that when you're on the IL and not able to play."
The Red Sox made a move to acquire Rutschman ahead of the deadline in a rare intra-division deal. In return, the Baltimore Orioles picked up catcher Carlos Narvaez and the team's No. 2 prospect in the deal, among others.
Rutschman holds a .215 batting average with eight home runs and 47 RBI this season. But he's been sidelined since July 18 with left wrist inflammation, and hasn't been ready to play for his new team just yet while finishing up his recovery. He caught five total innings in a rehab ****** ignment with their Triple-A affiliate over the weekend, too.
