23 Blake Swihart DH

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.

Swihart left Thursday's game against the Yankees with right hamstring tightness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

He went 0-for-4 prior to exiting late in the game, which will officially put an end to his 11-game hit streak. During that streak, he only started nine games over a 22-game span, but his playing time had picked up of late. Swihart is reportedly day-to-day.

Swihart went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

Swihart's 13th-inning double plated Eduardo Nunez, who had singled and stole second base, for the walkoff win. The double extended his hitting streak to 10 games and raised his batting average to .234, the highest its been this season. It appears Swihart's getting more confident with more plate appearances, as compared to earlier in the season. His average was below the Mendoza Line as recently as July 7, when he was hitting just .185.
