Orioles C Adley Rutschman on IL for first time in career
June 21 - Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain, the Orioles announced Saturday. Rutschman, who had never been on the IL in his career, was held out of the starting lineup on Saturday for the second straight game against the host New York Yankees. The 27-year-old Rutschman tweaked his left side in batting practice and had been nursing what was described as left abdominal tightness. Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters that Rutschman underwent an MRI on Saturday morning. Gary Sanchez started behind the plate and Jordan Westburg served as the designated hitter on Saturday for the Orioles. In a corresponding move, Maverick Handley was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Handley, 27, went just 3-for-40 (.075) in 15 MLB appearances this season, his first in the majors. Rutschman, 27, is hitting .227 with eight homers and 20 RBIs in 68 games this season. A two-time All-Star, Rutschman is batting .257 with 60 homers and 221 RBIs in 483 career games since Baltimore selected him with the top overall pick of the 2019 MLB Draft. --Field Level Media

Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman goes on IL for first time in his career because of oblique strain
Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman was placed on the injured list Saturday for the first time in his career because of a strained left oblique. The 27-year-old Rutschman had an MRI on Saturday morning, and the Orioles announced the move about 15 minutes before their game against the Yankees. 'He's been super durable, especially for a catcher,' Baltimore interim manager Tony Mansolino said. 'Unfortunately, if he does–if this is a thing–he's going to go, but hopefully it's not too long.' For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app. Rutschman was in Baltimore's original lineup Friday as the designated hitter before feeling pain during batting practice and being scratched. The Orioles recalled Maverick Handley, who will serve as the backup to Gary Sánchez until Rutschman returns. Rutschman is hitting .277 with eight home runs and 20 RBIs in 68 games this season. The top overall pick in the 2019 amateur draft is hitting .309 (17 for 55) in his last 15 games after hitting .182 (16 for 88) in his previous 25. Rutschman has been among the more durable catchers in the majors. After playing 113 games following his debut in May 2022, he appeared in 154 games in 2023 and 148 last season. Handley is 3 for 40 in 15 games with the Orioles this season. In 17 games with Triple-A Norfolk, Handley is hitting .322 with one home run and five RBIs.

(AP Photo/Winslow Townson) 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. ___ AP MLB:

Maverick Handley's first 2 career RBIs help Orioles past Angels 7-3 for series win
Gunnar Henderson hit a two-run homer during Baltimore's four-run sixth inning, and Maverick Handley got his first two career RBIs in the Orioles' 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. Zach Eflin (3-1) pitched five innings of two-run ball in his return from a monthlong injury absence for the Orioles, who took two of three in this weekend series between last-place clubs. Baltimore finished its road trip by winning for only the second time in eight games. Handley, the Orioles' 27-year-old backup catcher, was playing in his fourth major league game. He drove in Emmanuel Rivera with a sacrifice fly in the fifth, and his sacrifice bunt brought in Rivera again in the sixth. Matthew Lugo hit his first career homer as a pinch-hitter in the ninth for the Halos, who went 4-6 on their 10-game homestand. Tyler Anderson (2-1) yielded one earned run over five innings for the Angels, who committed two errors and several other fielding gaffes. Adley Rutschman got credit for an RBI triple in the first when Taylor Ward lost his simple fly ball in the sun. Ward atoned later in the first, driving in Jorge Soler with a double and scoring on Logan O'Hoppe's single. Ryan Mountcastle had an RBI single in the fifth after the Angels walked Tyler O'Neill to get to him. Key moment Eflin had rough spots in his first start since April 7, yielding five hits and two walks, but he struck out five and provided a decent outing for a team struggling with its patchwork rotation. Key stat Handley's RBI sacrifice bunt was the Orioles' first since 2021. Up next Yusei Kikuchi (0-4, 3.83 ERA) takes his ninth shot at winning a game for his new team when the Angels visit the Padres on Monday. Cade Povich (1-3, 5.55 ERA) pitches at Camden Yards on Tuesday when the Orioles host Minnesota.
