Rutledge was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox needed some infield depth after placing Pablo Sandoval on the disabled list, so Rutledge received the call to the majors. Rutledge is batting .316 through five games with the Paw Sox, so he'll try to continue that success into his reserve infield role with Boston.
