INJURIES
Progressing slowly Plawecki (hamstring) has been slow in his recovery from a strained left hamstring, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact There's been no report of a setback, but it remains unclear when Plawecki will be activated from the 10-day injured list. Until then, Connor Wong, who got his first MLB start Saturday, will handle backup catching duties for the Red Sox.

Officially hits IL Plawecki was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact It was reported earlier Tuesday that the backstop was destined for the injured list and now the transaction has been made official. The move is retroactive to Monday, so Plawecki will become eligible to be reinstated July 1, though he may very well need additional time to recover. Connor Wong was recalled from Triple-A Worcester and is expected to step in as Christian Vazquez's backup for the time being.

Red Sox Get Bad News on Kevin Plawecki Injury Update The Boston Red Sox got some bad news on Kevin Plawecki's latest injury update.
JUNE 22, 2021 • FANDUEL.COM
Bound for IL The Red Sox are expected to place Plawecki (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Tampa Bay, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact Boston evidently determined that the left hamstring injury Plawecki sustained in Sunday's game against the Royals was more than a day-to-day concern, so he'll be shut down for at least a week and a half while he heals up. Connor Wong will be promoted from Triple-A Worcester to take Plawecki's spot on the active roster and to serve as the No. 2 catcher behind top backstop Christian Vazquez.

Red Sox Rule Out Kevin Plawecki, Christian Arroyo For Rest Of Game The Boston Red Sox were down to one man on the bench after losing Christian Arroyo and Kevin Plawecki against the Royals.

Leaves with hamstring tightness Plawecki was removed from Sunday's game against the Royals with left hamstring tightness, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact The 30-year-old went 0-for-1 before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the fourth inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Plawecki could be headed for the injured list if he's forced to miss more than a day or two, since the Red Sox are unlikely to play for long without a viable backup to starting catcher Christian Vazquez.

Available off bench Plawecki (jaw) is available off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact Plawecki was removed from Tuesday's contest due to a jaw contusion, but he's feeling better Wednesday. Christian Vazquez will continue to handle most of the work at catcher ahead of Plawecki, who likely won't be in line for more than one or two starts most weeks.

Dealing with bruised jaw Plawecki was removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros with a jaw contusion, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact The 30-year-old suffered the jaw bruise when he was struck by a foul tip during the fourth inning. Plawecki should be considered day-to-day, while Christian Vazquez has taken over behind the plate for the Red Sox.

Struck by foul tip Plawecki exited Tuesday's game against the Astros after being hit in the mask by a foul tip, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 30-year-old likely will be evaluated for a concussion after being struck by the foul tip during the fourth inning. Plawecki hit a single in his lone plate appearance before being forced to exit. Christian Vazquez has taken over behind the plate, and Boston will need to add another catcher to the big-league roster if a concussion is confirmed.
