Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Ryan Hanigan will be activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move, meaning the Red Sox opted to hold on to Sandy Leon, rather than allowing him get plucked from waivers. Vazquez should make his way back to the majors sooner rather than later.
The 25-year-old is hitting .226/.278/.305 with 12 RBI's in 176 plate appearances this season.
