BOSTON — Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez, injured while sliding on Saturday against Kansas City, will undergo surgery Tuesday to insert a pin in his broken pinkie.
Vazquez is expected to miss 6-8 weeks following the surgery, with a September return hopeful.
Blake Swihart is expected to get more playing time behind the plate with Vazquez on the disabled list.
