What happened: The catcher was set for a Monday workout at Rogers Centre. Boston also faced a roster decision before adding him to the active squad.
Why it matters: Boston acquired Rutschman at the Aug. 3 trade deadline, but his wrist injury delayed his first appearance. His return would add a three-time All-Star to the lineup for the stretch run.
By the numbers: It was Rutschman's third injured-list stint of 2026; he went on the 10-day IL July 20 with left wrist inflammation.
What to watch: Watch for Boston's corresponding roster move and whether Rutschman starts Tuesday in Toronto.
