Rutledge (knee) will man third base and bat seventh in the order in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rutledge had been held out of games recently after experiencing some discomfort with his surgically-repaired left knee, but it was never considered a serious setback for the 27-year-old. Now that he's back in action, Rutledge will continue to stake his claim to a utility infield role, with Deven Merrero and Marco Hernandez seemingly representing his chief competitors for those duties.
