Adley Rutschman Stats

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman isn't in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday. The Orioles will take on the Toronto Blue Jays and right-handed starter Ross Stripling but will do so with Rutschman on the bench. Rutschman has made a significant impact for both the Orioles and fantasy managers this season, batting .250 with a .358 on-base percentage, seven home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 285 plate appearances. Robinson Chirinos will start at catcher instead on Wednesday for Baltimore. Fantasy managers in search of streaming options behind the plate are probably better off looking elsewhere. The veteran is hitting .181 with a .269 on-base percentage, three home runs, and a stolen base in 176 plate appearances this season.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins and rookie catcher Adley Rutschman are not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be Mullins' first game out of the starting lineup since July 3. The 27-year-old snapped a five-game hitting streak on Wednesday. Rutschman has swung the bat well coming out of the All-Star break, going 7-for-17 with three doubles, one RBI and four runs scored in six games. Ryan McKenna is starting in center field and batting eighth, while Robinson Chirinos is behind the plate and hitting ninth against Rays left-hander Ryan Yarbrough. Both McKenna and Chirinos are low-upside DFS options at the bottom of Baltimore's lineup. Between the two of them, they have a combined three home runs in 2022.

Baltimore Orioles rookie catcher Adley Rutschman is behind the plate and is batting second on Friday against the New York Yankees and right-hander Jameson Taillon. It's the first time since Rutschman was called up from the minors that he's hit higher than cleanup in Baltimore's batting order. The 24-year-old switch-hitting backstop has gone only 36-for-162 (.222) in his first 46 big-league games, adding five home runs, 16 RBI, 25 runs scored and one stolen base. In 14 games in the month of July leading up to the All-Star break last week, Rutschman hit .227 (10-for-44) with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI and 10 runs scored. A more permanent move to the top of the O's lineup would only be good news for the young catcher.
