Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Goes yard twice in big win
Rutschman went 3-for-5 with two home runs and six RBI in Friday's 10-3 win over the Red Sox.
The switch-hitting catcher took Brayan Bello deep in the first and fourth innings as part of a 20-hit, six-homer barrage from Baltimore's bats. Rutschman has been locked in since returning from a brief IL stint due to an ankle issue, racking up five hits, three homers and eight RBI in two games -- a surge that has pushed his slash line on the season to .349/.417/.698 through 48 plate appearances.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Taking seat Wednesday
Rutschman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Rutschman returned with a bang Tuesday following a stint on the injured list, going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Orioles' 6-5 loss. With the Orioles wrapping up their series in Kansas City with a day game after a night game, Rutschman will receive a breather Wednesday, but now that he's healthy again, he should be locked into a near-everyday role between catcher and designated hitter.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Encouraging MRI results
Manager Craig Albernaz said after Sunday's win against the Giants that the results of Rutschman's (ankle) MRI were encouraging, and the catcher may not require a lengthy stay on the injured list, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Rutschman landed on the injured list Saturday due to ankle inflammation, and the imaging indicates he's not dealing with a more serious issue. The 28-year-old will be eligible to be reinstated April 21, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to play by then. In the meantime, Samuel Basallo should operate as Baltimore's primary backstop while Maverick Handley handles backup duties.

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.
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.
