Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Slated for MRI
Rutschman (ankle), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis:
The Orioles are listing Rutschman's injury as left ankle inflammation, but his upcoming imaging should clarify whether there's anything more serious going on while also helping to determine a timeline for the backstop's return. Samuel Basallo will likely catch most days while Rutschman is out, and Maverick Handley was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to provide another option behind the plate.
