Christian Vazquez came out of the game last night after the 7th inning with the Red Sox up 8-4. While the move was a little odd, it wasn’t immediately obvious that something serious was wrong with the team’s starting catcher. Unfortunately, he was pulled because he broke his pinkie sliding into second base on a steal in the top of the 7th. As of this morning it wasn’t clear just how long he’ll be on the shelf. More details should be available in the coming days.
In the meantime, the team will need to figure out how to move forward.
