This is very bad news. Young Red Sox catcher
Christian Vazquez has a scheduled visit with
Dr. James Andrews for a "second opinion" on his ailing right elbow. Nine times out of ten, a visit to Andrews results in
Tommy John surgery. If that, in fact, transpires, a debate will ensue about whether
Blake Swihart is
immediately ready to slide onto the big league club. Luckily,
Ryan Hanigan is a veteran who can carry a bigger load than was projected—but then what? Stay tuned.
