Red Sox catchers Swihart, Hanigan head to DL

BOSTON -- The Red Sox made a number of roster moves Sunday, placing left fielder/catcher Blake Swihart (left ankle sprain) and catcher Ryan Hanigan (neck strain) on the disabled list and optioning reliever Noe Ramirez to Pawtucket.

Boston called up outfielder Rusney Castillo, catcher Sandy Leon and reliever Heath Hembree to replace those three.

Swihart is scheduled to see Boston-area foot specialist Dr. George Theodore on Sunday, and manager John Farrell said a more severe injury has not been ruled out. Swihart exited the Red Sox's win Saturday after running into a wall while chasing a foul ball in left field.
