TORONTO (AP) — Three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman went 1 for 3 and walked twice in his Red Sox debut Tuesday as Boston lost its fourth straight, 5-3 to Toronto.
"Really nice to get out there and play today," Rutschman said. "The guys have a ton of energy, they're rolling. Nice to be out there."
Rutschman, who wore jersey No. 31, was activated off the 10-day injured list before the game. Acquired from Baltimore at the trade deadline for three of Boston's top prospects, Rutschman hadn't played since July 18 because of left wrist inflammation.
Batting third, the switch-hitter struck out swinging in the first inning, reached on an infield single in the third, then walked in the fifth and seventh. He grounded out to end the game, stranding a runner at second.
"I thought he looked good, looked comfortable, looked confident," interim manager Chad Tracy said. "I liked the ****** ons behind the plate, he worked with (starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval) really well, took some good ABs."
