Adley Rutschman has been reinstated by the Baltimore Orioles. The catcher returns from the injured list prior to Tuesday night’s game at Kansas City.
Rutschman’s Absence and Return
Rutschman had been sidelined since April 10 due to left ankle inflammation.
Before the injury, he was hitting .294 with six doubles across his initial 10 games this season.
Huff Designated for Assignment
In a corresponding move, the Orioles designated catcher Sam Huff for assignment.
Rutschman’s Recent Performance
Rutschman, a two-time All-Star, is looking to improve upon his previous season. He hit .220 with nine home runs and 29 RBIs last year, playing 90 games.
Rutschman’s return provides a boost for the Orioles lineup.
