The Red Sox are set to play the Toronto Blue Jays for Game 2 of a four-game set at Rogers Centre at 7:07 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.
The Blue Jays won the first game of the series 2-1 on Monday.
The Red Sox are expected to activate star catcher Adley Rutschman, whom Boston acquired from the Baltimore Orioles on Aug. 3, before Tuesday’s game, according to multiple reports. As a corresponding move, it appears the Red Sox will cut a seven-year MLB veteran.

MassLive’s Chris Cotillo wrote (X): “Red Sox haven’t yet announced roster moves but it appears Jake Rogers is the odd man out, as expected, with Adley Rutschman due back.”
Rogers is out of minor-league options, meaning Boston cannot option him to Triple-A. To remove the catcher from the active roster, the Red Sox will have to designate him for assignment.
