Overview

  • Baltimore reinstated Rutschman from the 10-day injured list Monday after four rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk, and he might not be ready to play immediately.
  • He had been out since Aug. 17 with a right oblique strain after a left-side strain in June, capping a season in which he has hit .227 with nine home runs and a .684 OPS in 84 games.
  • The Orioles optioned infielder Luis Vázquez to their Spring Training complex in Sarasota as the corresponding move.
  • Reliever Scott Blewett cleared waivers after a DFA and accepted an outright assignment to the organization’s Ed Smith Stadium complex.
  • Baltimore sits 73-83 with six games remaining against the Rays and Yankees, and the catching mix now includes Samuel Basallo and Alex Jackson as plans for Gary Sánchez’s knee return remain TBD.
