What happened: Adley Rutschman is managing a hyperextended right elbow that has kept him out of the Boston Red Sox lineup on consecutive days. The catcher is expected to require rest and monitoring through the remainder of the season.

Why it matters: The injury limits the immediate impact of Boston’s deadline acquisition during the final month of the regular season. Rutschman’s availability could require the club to continue managing its catching workload game by game.

What to watch: Watch whether Rutschman returns to the lineup Wednesday and how often Boston schedules rest days.
