## Resource

Adley Rutschman, the prized catcher the Red Sox traded for in a five-player deal, is sidelined again—this time with elbow inflammation treated by a cortisone shot. Already plagued by wrist issues, a hamstring injury, and a concussion this season, his health is critical as Boston races toward the playoffs. With Rutschman out, Connor Wong has seen more time at the plate but hasn’t been hitting well, while Mickey Gasper—who’s been crushing it offensively—has stepped in defensively. The Red Sox are walking a tightrope: keep Rutschman healthy enough to contribute when it matters most, without risking another stint on the injured list.
