Rutschman underwent an MRI on Saturday morning that revealed an oblique strain after being scratched from Friday’s lineup with left abdominal tightness. Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters that top prospect Samuel Basallo is not being considered as a call up while Rutschman is sidelined. It’ll be Gary Sánchez and Maverick Handley taking over the catching duties. No word on the severity of the strain, which will determine how much time he misses, but fantasy managers should anticipate a multi-week absence, even in a best-case scenario. It’s the first time Rutschman has required a trip to the injured list since arriving in the big leagues back in 2022.

Westburg was removed from Saturday’s game against the Yankees after jamming his finger, but the good news is that the initial imaging revealed no structural damage. The 26-year-old will have a chance to get back into the lineup in the coming days — assuming no setbacks — and should be considered day-to-day for now.

Eflin surrendered a solo homer to Trent Grisham in the first inning, then was tagged for two more solo shots by J.C. Escarra and Ben Rice in the second. Eflin’s struggled continued into the third, with three more runs scoring on four hits and a sacrifice fly. The 31-year-old right-hander was chased after three innings. He’ll take a bloated 5.46 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and a 42/11 K/BB ratio across 61 innings into a start against the Rays in Baltimore on Friday.

Not great. Westburg was lifted for a pinch-hitting Coby Mayo in the third inning of Saturday’s contest after drawing a walk in his lone plate appearance. He appeared to suffer the injury while sliding head-first into the second-base bag on a first-inning stolen base. The 26-year-old third baseman will presumably head for further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue. There should be an update on his status shortly.

O’Hoppe swatted a two-run homer off Brandon Walter in the third, and then went deep again with a runner on in the seventh off Kaleb Ort. The 25-year-old backstop is up to 16 homers in 2025, and they’re the first homers O’Hoppe has hit in the month of June. Perhaps this is the game that gets him going again, as he was hitting an ugly .089/.128/.111 in the month prior to Saturday’s game.

It’s highly unlikely the Marlins would have overcome a 4-0 deficit in the ninth, but Baldwin put the matter to rest in the top of the inning with his home run off Josh Simpson. It was his first homer since June 5 and eighth of the year. He drove in three runs for the first time as a big leaguer.

It’s apparently an issue that Moreno had been playing through for a while and was unaware of. Lovullo noted that while they don’t have a clear timetable for the 25-year-old backstop’s return, it will be measured in weeks instead of days. Jose Herrera will continue to handle the bulk of the work behind the plate while Moreno is sidelined.
