Getting night off
Rutschman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Analysis
After breaking out of an extended slump with a home run among his two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers, Rutschman was back on the struggle bus in Tuesday's 10-0 loss to San Francisco, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He'll give way to James McCann behind the plate Wednesday, but Rutschman should continue to see the bulk of the starts at catcher over the final week and a half of the season as the Orioles hope to get him back in peak form at the dish heading into the postseason.

Homers in Sunday's loss
Rutschman went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.
Analysis
This was Rutschman's first homer in nearly a month, and he hit just .175 (14-for-80) over 22 contests between long balls. It's been an unusually long slump for the star catcher, which has seen him drop to fifth in the order after most frequently batting second for most of the season. He's still got some time to set aim for his second straight 20-homer year -- he's one shy now while adding 76 RBI, 63 runs scored, one stolen base and a .254/.324/.400 slash line over 137 contests.
