Christian Vazquez fractured his pinky finger on his throwing hand. Cora said he's going on the DL. Corresponding move will be made tomorrow. They will know more Monday.
Blake Swihart will back up Leon.
Well, all the Swihart fans will be getting to see more of him.
You beat jacko to it. He must be drunk this time of the night.
Tampa would like to move Wilson Ramos for salary relief. He’s having a nice season.

I don't really see the need to make a move for a catcher. Leon has been on fire lately and is perfectly suitable to be the main catcher, especially if its only a few weeks. His defense is great and he's been better hitter than Vaz
Agree, don't panic. A couple of years ago, Swihart played the whole 2nd half of season, and did real good. Let's see.
Did Kelly get injured last night? He was pulled mid inning for Workman when he was doing fine.
Sandy's actually been the better offensive and defensive catcher this season. Obviously, injuries are never ideal, but this move might actually improve lineup production

I would love to see us make a move, especially for Ramos, but I also believe that Sandy is perfectly capable of carrying the load for awhile. The pitchers love throwing to Sandy.
He got light headed, dizzy. That's a bit scary
And Swihart as the backup?

Looks like we will be seeinga bit more Swi. But Cora did mention Sandy can do most of the work if needed.
Broken finger on the throwing hand. That's got to be a month at least IMO.
Come on Swi.
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
Ummmm....no!
Vasquez is not out for the season. He will likely be out for maybe three weeks or so. If the injury is more severe than what we are being told then sure, lets find someone to replace him. If not, what do we do with the guy we find for three weeks once Vas returns?
A valid point, especially when I think Sandy might not be up to catching 4 out of every 5 games. That said, there's a 4 day ASG break just ahead, which will help, and generally I am inclined to think this is Swihart's shot and might not hurt the team. If Cora and DD decide otherwise and get help, I will be OK with that too.
Best case scenario, Swihart actually INCREASES his trade value instead of where he is right now, which is ZERO.
