Boston's Christian Vazquez (finger) out 6-8 weeks
Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez will be sidelined for six-to-eight weeks following surgery on Tuesday to insert a pin into his fractured right pinkie finger.
What It Means:
Vazquez broke the finger on Saturday and will be back in late-August. Sandy Leon will assume primary catching duties with Blake Swihart earning a few starts behind the plate.
Vazquez has batted .213/.249/.300 with 3 homers, 14 RBI, and 18 runs scored in 218 plate appearances this season.
