WHAT'S UP

Boston looks to snap a three-game losing streak against the Toronto Blue Jays with Adley Rustchman making his Red Sox debut.

The Red Sox designated veteran catcher Jake Rogers for assignment as part of activating Adley Rutschman. Boston hopes to retain Rogers, sources said. Rogers can’t be optioned to Triple-A without being offered to other teams via the waiver process. The Red Sox also cleared a second 40-man roster move by transferring injured infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the 60-day IL.
