Rutschman was scratched from the lineup Friday versus the Red Sox due to an illness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Rutschman has no need to push himself to play through the bug after the Orioles officially clinched the AL East title Thursday. James McCann is now catching and batting eighth Friday against the Red Sox and right-hander Nick Pivetta.
