Red Sox option catcher Blake Swihart to Pawtucket

So much for the concerns of how Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell would juggle the playing time between his trio of catchers.

Yesterday we learned that Christian Vazquez would be called up to take the spot of recently demoted outfielder Rusney Castillo, which left many to wonder how the Red Sox could feasibly carry three catchers on the big league roster. Now we know that was never the intention.

The Red Sox have optioned catcher Blake Swihart to Pawtucket and recalled infielder Marco Hernandez to take his place.
