The Orioles placed All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation, retroactive to July 19, as Baltimore heads into a pivotal series against the Boston Red Sox. Chadwick Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to fill Rutschman’s spot, while Samuel Basallo is sidelined with a right shoulder issue and has limited playing time in the short term; Sam Huff is expected to start behind the plate in Rutschman’s absence. Rudy Martin was designated for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster. Baltimore, currently riding a seven-game win streak and two games behind the final AL Wild Card spot, faces a Red Sox club on a 13-game winning streak that adds urgency to the series. Rutschman has been a steady presence when healthy, slashing .251/.331/.433 with eight homers in 67 games, though he has missed time earlier this year with ankle inflammation and a concussion. The club hopes a quick return for Rutschman and a managed workload for Basallo and Tromp can sustain its playoff push.
