23 Blake Swihart C

Swihart is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Swihart had started each of the Red Sox's last three games, with his assignments coming at first base, in right field and behind the plate. The 26-year-old's versatility bodes well for his odds of finding steady at-bats during the final week of the regular season, but he'll likely retreat to the bench on a full-time basis once the playoffs get underway.

Swihart went 1-for-5 with a two-run double in Wednesday's 9-8 win over Atlanta.

Swihart was part of a six-run eighth inning that brought the Red Sox back from a 7-1 deficit. He got the start in right field as his opportunities at catcher will dry up with the return of Christian Vazquez. Manager Alex Cora will move him around, from catcher to first base to outfield to DH, but the cadence of his starting assignments will be reduced.

Swihart (hamstring) will have a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend and expects to be activated for Tuesday's game at Philadelphia, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

It appears that Swihart will only miss the 10-day minimum (with the Red Sox's off day Monday) after landing on the disabled list with right hamstring tightness Aug. 3. Sandy Leon should continue to see starts behind the plate until his return, although Dan Butler is starting Friday night.

Swihart (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day DL prior to Friday's game, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The Red Sox are optimistic that Swihart will only miss the minimum 10 days after suffering a right hamstring injury during Thursday's victory over the Yankees. In his place, Dan Butler was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket. Swihart will be eligible to return Aug. 14.

Swihart (hamstring) is not in the lineup against the Yankees on Friday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

As expected, Swihart will take a seat after exiting Thursday's series opener due to right hamstring tightness. Sandy Leon will catch Rick Porcello and bat eighth. Consider Swihart day-to-day moving forward.
