BOSTON (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles placed All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation on Monday before their series opener against the Boston Red Sox.
It’s the third time on the IL this season for the 28-year-old Rutschman. He missed time in April with left ankle inflammation and was out in mid-June with a concussion.
To take his spot on the roster, the club promoted catcher Chadwick Tromp from Triple-A Norfolk.
Rutschman is batting .251 with eight homers and 47 RBIs. Fellow catcher Samuel Basallo, who has 16 homers, was out of the lineup Monday . Sam Huff, whose contract was selected from Norfolk on Sunday, started at catcher against the Red Sox.
Baltimore entered the game on a season-high seven-game winning streak. Boston came in having won 13 straight, which was tied for the second-longest streak in club history. Both teams are well back in the AL East race but are contenders for a playoff wild card.
