Red Sox's Josh Rutledge: Takes seat Thursday
Rutledge is not in the lineup Thursday against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis:
With Dustin Pedroia (knee) back at second base, Marco Hernandez will slide over to the hot corner against right-handed hurlers while Rutledge heads to the bench. Pablo Sandoval (knee) should see the bulk of starts at third against right-handers when he is activated from the DL, though Rutledge should continue to start at third against left-handers.
