Adley Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Reds on Sunday.
It was Rutschman’s fourth home run of the season and maybe the only thing that went right for the Orioles on Sunday. The 27-year-old has struggled to start the year with a .208/.299/.390 slash line, but he’s barreling the ball a ton and not swinging and missing a lot, so now is the time to buy low if the fantasy manager in your league is worried about the slash line.
Adley Rutschman with 1-for-4 with a solo homer in the Orioles’ 5-4 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Rutschman’s solo homer off Bowden Francis in the sixth inning tied the game before Baltimore took the lead later in the inning. It was the third home run of the season for the 27-year-old catcher. He’s slashing a solid .265/.357/.469 with nine runs scored and five RBI across 56 plate appearances.
Adley Rutschman is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Royals.
It appears to be a routine day off for Rutschman, who has caught six of Baltimore’s first eight contest while occupying the DH spot in the other two. He’s hitting .258 (8-for-31) with two homers and three RBI so far. It’ll be Gary Sánchez handling the catching duties on Saturday afternoon against the Royals.
Adley Rutschman cranked a pair of long homers and singled against the Blue Jays on Thursday.
Both were bombs, traveling a projected 436 and 415 feet. It’s Rutschman’s third career two-homer game. Oddly enough, all have come against the Jays. His first today came off José Berríos. On May 13 of last year, he homered twice off Berríos.
