Orioles Place C Adley Rutschman on 7-Day Concussion List
Baltimore will rely on Samuel Basallo as Adley Rutschman misses time after a head injury, and manager Craig Albernaz said the club is being cautious.
- On Saturday, the Baltimore Orioles placed catcher Adley Rutschman on the 7-day concussion injured list, retroactive to Friday, following a head injury sustained during Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners.
- During the ninth inning, Mariners shortstop Colt Emerson accidentally hit Rutschman in the head with a throw while attempting to complete a double play.
- Orioles manager Craig Albernaz described the event as a 'freak incident,' telling the press, 'We are just playing it cautious to make sure he is OK.'
