Red Sox to activate catcher Christian Vazquez
Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez (elbow) will be activated ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
What It Means:
Vazquez is recovered from Tommy John surgery and could take over as Boston's primary catcher with Blake Swihart and Ryan Hanigan both struggling. Vazquez is a good defender and hit pretty well in the minors before struggling in his first taste of the majors in 2014.
Vazquez, 25, posted a lousy .277 wOBA in 201 plate appearances with the Red Sox in 2014. We project Swihart, a one time top prospect, to hit to the tune of a .305 wOBA and six jacks this season.
