Overview

  • The Orioles placed Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list Saturday after an MRI confirmed a left oblique strain.
  • Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Rutschman will miss at least a month, ruling him out until after the July 14–17 All-Star break.
  • Backup catcher Maverick Handley was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk but exited Sunday’s game following a collision at the plate with Jazz Chisholm Jr.
  • Third baseman Jordan Westburg left Saturday’s contest with a sprained left index finger and is expected to miss two to three games.
  • Baltimore has now had 21 players on the injured list this season, with 10 currently sidelined, prompting moves such as optioning Yennier Cano and recalling Yaramil Hiraldo.
