BOSTON (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles placed All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation on Monday before their series opener against the Boston Red Sox.
It’s the third time on the IL this season for the 28-year-old Rutschman. He missed time in April with left ankle inflammation and was out in mid-June with a concussion.
To take his spot on the roster, the club promoted catcher Chadwick Tromp from Triple-A Norfolk.
Rutschman is batting .251 with eight homers and 47 RBIs. Fellow catcher Samuel Basallo, who has 16 homers, was out of the lineup Monday and is day to day with right shoulder discomfort. Sam Huff, whose contract was selected from Norfolk on Sunday, started at catcher against the Red Sox.
Baltimore entered the game on a season-high seven-game winning streak. Boston came in having won 13 straight, which was tied for the second-longest streak in club history. Both teams are well back in the AL East race but are contenders for a playoff wild card.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Rescue crews in Afghanistan searched Tuesday for survivors and bodies among the rubble of houses destroyed by devastating flash floods that authorities say have killed nearly two dozen people and left more than 100 people missing.
The Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority said Tuesday that 23 people had died, 80 had been injured and more than 100 were missing after floods struck the eastern province of Nuristan on Monday, causing an undetermined number of buildings to collapse. The provincial capital city of Parun was among the areas affected, authorities said.
More extreme weather has been forecast, with heavy rain; thunderstorms; strong winds accompanied by dust and sand; and flash floods predicted in 10 of the country’s 34 provinces, the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation’s meteorology department said Monday evening. The ministry warned residents to avoid riverbanks and other areas at risk of flooding.
Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events, with snow and heavy rain that trigger flash floods, often killing dozens, or even hundreds, of people at a time. In 2024, more than 300 people died in springtime flash floods. Earlier this year, at least 110 people were killed by widespread flooding and landslides in several parts of the country.
Decades of conflict, along with poor infrastructure, a struggling economy, deforestation and the intensifying effects of climate change, have amplified the impact of such disasters, particularly in remote areas where many homes are built of mud and offer limited protection against sudden deluges or heavy snowfall.
