Adley Rutschman Injury: Return date still TBD

Rutschman (oblique) said Sunday that he's improving, but he admitted that he's uncertain if he'll be activated from the 10-day injured list for the Orioles' first game following the All-Star break, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Interim manager Tony Mansolino previously ruled Rutschman out for the remainder of the first half but expressed optimism that the catcher would be ready to go after the break. Since being placed on the IL on June 21, the backstop has been able to do some throwing, but he has yet to resume swinging a bat, according to Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun. Until Rutschman proves that he can hit against high-velocity pitching without any discomfort, a firm target date for his return will be elusive.
