Rutledge is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Rutledge on the bench for a fourth consecutive game, it appears safe to conclude that Deven Marrero has emerged as manager John Farrell's preferred option at third base while Pablo Sandoval (knee), Marco Hernandez (shoulder) and Brock Holt (vertigo) all remain on the disabled list. Rutledge may still see a start or two per week when Farrell decides to give Marrero, Xander Bogaerts or Dustin Pedroia a day off.
