Adley Rutschman Returns to Camden Yards — and Homers Twice for the Red Sox
Adley Rutschman is batting third after a 15-game slump and a three-game elbow absence as the Red Sox chase a wild-card berth.
- On Thursday, former Orioles first-overall pick Adley Rutschman returned to Camden Yards as a Boston Red Sox player, homering in his first at-bat off Orioles right-hander Brandon Young in the top of the first inning.
- Mike Elias, Baltimore Orioles president of baseball operations, traded Rutschman to Boston on August 3 when the club was 54-58 on deadline day, splitting an Orioles core he had helped lead to recent playoff success.
- Rutschman received a standing ovation before stepping to the plate, with the ballpark playing his walk-up song; a video tribute between innings highlighted his career moments as an Oriole. He said, "The people in Baltimore have always treated me with an unbelievable amount of respect and love."
- Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said the team will "love to see Adley" but also "try and kick his ass," while Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy called Rutschman a "high-character guy" ready to perform despite his struggles.
- Rutschman entered Thursday hitting.170 with a.500 OPS through 15 games after arriving in Boston on the injured list and hyperextending his right elbow on August 24 in Miami. Boston holds a 4½-game cushion for the second wild-card spot while the Orioles remain 1½ games behind Cleveland.
