Red Sox activate Christian Vazquez, option Blake Swihart
The Boston Red Sox activated catcher Christian Vazquez from the 15-day disabled list.
What It Means:
We wrote yesterday that this move was expected, but Boston also sent down Blake Swihart, which means Vazquez will receive the lion's share of the playing time behind the plate while Ryan Hanigan backs up. Vazquez is certainly known more for his defense but can be considered in deeper, two-catcher leagues.
Vazquez missed all of 2015 recovering from Tommy John surgery. He slashed .240/.308/.309 with a .277 wOBA in 55 games in 2014. We currently project Vazquez to post a similar wOBA in 2016 (.266).
