The Baltimore catcher is back after a hamstring injury, starting at DH and batting third against Seattle.
Adley Rutschman is back in the Orioles' lineup Thursday against the Mariners after a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old catcher will serve as designated hitter and bat third. Rutschman had played in 17 games this season with a 0.333 average (21-for-63) and 4 home runs before the injury.
His return to the lineup gives Baltimore's offense a boost at the midpoint of the season. The Orioles will use the DH slot to manage his workload as he shakes off the injury.
