Rutledge is not in the lineup Thursday against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Dustin Pedroia (knee) back at second base, Marco Hernandez will slide over to the hot corner against right-handed hurlers while Rutledge heads to the bench. Pablo Sandoval (knee) should see the bulk of starts at third against right-handers when he is activated from the DL, though Rutledge should continue to start at third against left-handers.
