Rutledge was inserted into Sunday's starting lineup at third base when David Ortiz (toe) was made a late scratch. He went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The Ortiz scratching set off a domino effect that moved Hanley Ramirez from first base to designated hitter, Travis Shaw from third base to first, and Rutledge from the bench to the hot corner. Ortiz is listed as day-to-day after taking a pitched ball off his toe Saturday. If he continues to miss games this week, Rutledge will be in line for added at-bats. The 27-year-old utility player has hit well in limited duty this season (career-high .830 OPS in 50 plate appearances) and usually plays two-to-three times per week as a fill-in when a starter is getting day off.
