Adley Rutschman Fantasy Stats

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman is not in the starting lineup on Saturday for his team's game against the New York Yankees. Rutschman had started three out of four games behind the plate for Baltimore since returning on Tuesday from an oblique injury that caused him to miss more than a month. Samuel Basallo will start at catcher and bat eighth on Saturday against Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler. Rutschman has struggled through both injuries and underperformance in 2025. Across 361 plate appearances, the 27-year-old has slashed .223/.307/.370 with nine home runs, 29 RBI, and 37 runs scored.

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Monday that they reinstated catcher Adley Rutschman (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder Luis Vazquez to the spring training complex in a corresponding move. The Orioles are off on Monday, but Rutschman should return to Baltimore's starting lineup for the final week of the regular season for Tuesday's series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at Camden Yards. The 27-year-old switch-hitter is returning to action for the first time in over a month due to a strained right oblique. Rutschman and rookie Samuel Basallo will likely share starts behind the plate to close out the 2025 campaign. It's been a frustrating year for both the O's and Rutschman, as he has hit just .227/.310/.373 with a below-average .684 OPS, a career-low nine home runs, and 29 RBI in just 85 games in an injury-plagued season.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (oblique) is expected to begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday, per MLB.com's Ryan Herrera. Rutschman was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to August 18 with a right oblique strain. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Rutschman will need about a week before he will be ready to rejoin the O's. It has been a disappointing season for the 27-year-old, who also missed time with a left oblique strain. In a season with so many fantasy options at catcher, Rutschman has struggled, with a .227/.310/.373 slash line, nine home runs, and 29 RBI in 348 plate appearances.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (oblique) is hoping to come off the 10-day injured list over the final 10 days to two weeks of the season. Rutschman hasn't begun swinging a bat yet, but there's optimism that he'll return in 2025. A strained right oblique has shelved Rutschman since Aug. 18, and he also missed time earlier in the year with a left-oblique strain. The two-time All-Star has played in just 85 games as a result, and he has hit a career-worst .227/.310/.373 with nine homers, 29 RBI, and 37 runs scored over 348 trips to the plate. Shortly before Rutschman went on the IL, the Orioles brought up top catching prospect Samuel Basallo and then signed him to an eight-year contract extension worth a guaranteed $67 million. Basallo has struggled to a .200/.243/.257 line with no HRs and five RBI in his first 10 games and 37 plate appearances.

The Baltimore Orioles placed catcher Adley Rutschman (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a right-oblique strain and recalled outfielder Daniel Johnson from the minors in a corresponding move, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. With Rutschman on the IL yet again this year, top catching prospect Samuel Basallo will move forward as the O's primary backstop. The 27-year-old Rutschman also missed time in 2025 with a left-oblique strain, and it's just been an injury-plagued, frustrating season for the former No. 1 overall pick. With Baltimore out of playoff contention, the Orioles will likely play it safe with Rutschman, meaning he may not return until the final month of the season in September. The two-time All-Star has hit just .227 (70-for-308) on the year with a career-low nine homers, 29 RBI and 37 runs in 85 games. UPDATE: Interim manager Tony Mansolino said it's a "very mild" strain, but it's still to be determined if Rutschman can play again in 2025.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (abdomen) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park due to right-abdominal discomfort, according to the team. Alex Jackson will now do the catching for right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano and bat ninth against Red Sox right-hander Walker Buehler. Rutschman also did not play in the series opener on Monday, and the 27-year-old's abdominal injury could help explain why he has only three hits in his last 29 games over seven games. With an off day coming on Wednesday, fantasy managers will be hoping that he can return for Thursday's series opener against the Houston Astros. It's been Rutschman's worst MLB season in his fourth year, as he's currently slashing .227/.310/.373 with only nine homers, 29 RBI and 37 runs in just 85 games.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman is not in the lineup for his team's game against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. Alex Jackson is catching and batting ninth in his absence. This is likely just a scheduled day off for Rutschman, who has started 14 straight games since returning from an oblique injury on July 28. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a down year overall, slashing .232/.318/.386 with nine home runs, 27 RBI, and 37 runs scored in 333 plate appearances. He's fallen out of the must-start tier in one-catcher fantasy leagues for 2025, but there's plenty of potential for a rebound season in 2026.

Baltimore Orioles catcher/designated hitter Adley Rutschman (oblique) made a strong impression in his return from the 10-day injured list in Monday's 11-4 win over the Blue Jays. The 27-year-old, who was out with a strained left oblique, went 3-for-5 with a single, two doubles, two RBI, and a strikeout. It was a welcome performance for the O's and fantasy managers, as Rutschman has slashed just .235/.324/.385 with eight home runs and 22 RBI in 281 plate appearances this season. He has underperformed expectations this season, and the catcher position has been surprisingly deep for fantasy leagues. However, Rutschman was a former first-round pick and has been a solid fantasy contributor for his career.

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Monday that they reinstated catcher Adley Rutschman (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and designated catcher Jacob Stallings for assignment in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers will need to check back shortly, but Rutschman should be back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays at Camden Yards. The 27-year-old switch-hitting backstop will return as the O's starting catcher after missing a month-plus with a strained left oblique. Despite a disappointing 2025 season to this point, the former first-rounder should be rostered in all fantasy leagues and should be returned to starting lineups. Rutschman has hit .227/.319/.372 to this point with eight home runs, 20 RBI and 31 runs for the disappointing Orioles.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (oblique) is expected to come off the 10-day injured list Monday for the start of a series against the Toronto Blue Jays, interim manager Tony Mansolino said. An oblique strain has sidelined Rutschman since June 19. Before hitting the shelf, the 27-year-old fell short of expectations with a .227/.319/.372 line, eight homers, 20 RBI, and 31 runs scored in 276 plate appearances. With a .350 xwOBA that far outpaces his .308 wOBA, perhaps Rutschman will experience some positive regression when he comes back.
