The Boston Red Sox placed catcher Christian Vazquez on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with a broken right pinkie he suffered sliding into second base Saturday night.
Vazquez had a two-run single in the seventh inning of the Red Sox's 15-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. He suffered the injury when he stole second base. Sandy Leon replaced Vazquez at catcher in the bottom of the eighth.
He has appeared in 60 games this season (54 starts) and is hitting .213 with three home runs and 14 RBIs.
