BOSTON (AP) — Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman left Sunday’s game against the Boston Red Sox in the top of the fifth inning after taking a hard foul ball off his mask two innings earlier.
In the third, Rafael Devers’ foul ball slammed directly into Rutschman’s mask. The catcher dropped his head for a moment while plate umpire Emil Jimenez politely walked the ball out to pitcher Dean Kremer so Rutschman could have some time to recover.
He was replaced by Maverick Handley.
