Rutledge is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following a string of four consecutive starts, Rutledge will give way to the struggling Pablo Sandoval at third base. Until Sandoval, who is batting .211 on the season, demonstrates a dramatic turnaround offensively, it looks like Rutledge could serve as the primary starter at the hot corner. Rutledge doesn't have as high of a ceiling as a hitter as Sandoval, but he's a more capable defender at the position.
