Rutschman (elbow) is back in the lineup for Boston's matchup with the Yankees on Friday.
Rutschman sat out the final two games of the series against the Marlins, but will start behind the plate for Friday's series opener. The 28-year-old has struggled since coming over to Boston, batting .146/.255/.244 with one homer and four RBI over 47 plate appearances. The switch-hitter will bat fifth for Boston as Connor Wong moves back to the bench Friday.
