Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman goes on IL for first time in his career because of oblique strain
NEW YORK (AP) — 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.'
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 .227 with eight homers 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.

Jackson Holliday's brother favored to be first pick in 2025 MLB Draft
The post Jackson Holliday's brother favored to be first pick in 2025 MLB Draft appeared first on ClutchPoints. The 2025 MLB Draft is a few weeks away, and the Washington Nationals control the start of the draft with the No. 1 overall pick. Advertisement In 2022, the Baltimore Orioles had the No. 1 pick and took Jackson Holliday, son of former MLB star Matt Holliday. Fast forward three years, and Holliday has another son who is taking over the baseball scene. Ethan Holliday is projected to go No. 1 in this upcoming draft, and there is no reason why he shouldn't be. Jackson quickly established himself in the minors, and even though his start in the majors was slow, it seems he has found his groove. Baseball runs in the Holliday family's bloodline, and Ethan will soon be a part of it. According to FanDuel, the sportsbook has already listed the odds to be selected first overall in the 2025 MLB Draft. Holliday's odds put him at the top. Ethan Holliday: -160 Kade Anderson: +430 Advertisement Seth Hernandez: +700 Liam Doyle: +1000 Aiva Arquette: +1200 Jamie Arnold: +1300 Ethan Holliday, just as his brother and father did, was recently named to 2025 Gatorade Oklahoma Player of the Year. He batted .611 with 19 home runs and 64 RBIs and had a 2.034 OPS. Those numbers don't even seem real in a video game. He tore up the high school scene during his senior year and will likely be taken first overall by the Washington Nationals. Washington could be a very good fit for Holliday. They are a young team with many young stars, who were mostly acquired from the San Diego Padres in the mega Juan Soto deal. Advertisement If you are wondering why the historical Chicago White Sox don't own the first pick, it's because they had the fifth pick last year, and large-market teams are ineligible to have lottery picks in consecutive years. So, the Nationals control the start of the draft and hope to add Holliday to a list of young stars that include MacKenzie Gore, James Wood, CJ Abrams, Robert Hassell II, Brady House, and Travis Sykora.
