Red Sox notebook: Swing the Hot bat, and Sandy Leon or Christian Vazquez will be the catcher

Through Christian Vazquez’ first 10 games, he had the hot bat.

Over the last two, Sandy Leon has the hot bat.

In the eyes of Red Sox manager John Farrell, who catches will be whoever is swinging the bat better.

As the Sox enter a three-game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee without the designated hitter, they’ll need all the offense they can get.

Expect Leon to get a few extra at-bats.

“We’ve distributed it pretty evenly,” Farrell said Sunday. “It was three and two, starting with Sandy, and then it swung back to Vazqy as he was swinging the hot bat.
