What happened: The move removes Rogers from Boston’s 40-man roster and exposes him to waivers. Adley Rutschman was activated Tuesday and went 1-for-3 with two walks in a 5-3 loss to Toronto.
Why it matters: Rutschman’s return left Boston carrying three catchers. The Red Sox are 64-55 after four straight losses, three games behind the Yankees and nine behind the Rays.
By the numbers: Rogers went 3-for-6 with two doubles during his brief Boston stint. The Red Sox acquired him, Rutschman and cash from Baltimore on Aug. 3.
What to watch: Boston will learn whether Rogers is claimed on waivers or becomes a free agent. Rutschman’s integration continues during the series in Toronto.
