Rutledge is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees, Tim Britton of The Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
After coming off the bench in Sunday's game against the Orioles and having Monday off to recover with the Red Sox off the schedule, Rutledge was expected to rejoin the lineup Tuesday at second base, but it appears he may not longer rank as manager John Farrell's preferred option at the position while Dustin Pedroia (wrist) remains on the disabled list. Though he lacks much offensive upside, Deven Marrero offers a capable glove at the position, which may be good enough to keep him ahead of Rutledge on the depth chart while the latter struggles to provide much punch at the plate. Rutledge is batting .246 over 65 at-bats this season, with only one of his 16 hits going for extra bases.
