Red Sox's Sandy Leon: Contract purchased from Triple-A

Leon's contract was purchased from Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports.

With the Red Sox's two backup catchers, Ryan Hanigan (neck) and Blake Swihart (ankle), landing on the DL on Sunday, Leon was brought in to provide some further depth behind the plate. Leon isn't expected to play more than once or twice a week behind Christian Vazquez, so even in AL-only leagues, Leon's appeal is limited.
