Exits game after HBP Plawecki exited Sunday's game after being hit by a pitch near his right hand, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Plawecki stayed in the game to run the bases after suffering the injury, but he was replaced behind the plate by Christian Vazquez in the following inning.

Fills in for Vazquez Plawecki entered Monday's game after Christian Vazaquez was removed with a heel injury. He went 0-for-1 in a 6-3 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Boston manager Ron Roenicke said Vazquez's right heel has been bothering, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports, and the team didn't want the injury flaring up to the point where he would miss significant time. It's uncertain if Vazquez will be ready to catch Tuesday, so Plawecki could draw the start against the Phillies. The backup catcher is batting .375 (9-for-24) with two doubles and six RBI over eight games.

Peterson wins MLB debut, Mets beat Red Sox 8-3

JULY 29, 2020 • Associated Press

Three hits in Tuesday's start Plawecki went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.

Impact Getting the start behind the plate against his former club, Plawecki took full advantage of the opportunity. Christian Vazquez is locked in as Boston's starting catcher, but Plawecki seems well ahead of Jonathan Lucroy on the depth chart and could see a couple starts a week this season as Vazquez's primary backup.

Starts Saturday Plawecki went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Boston manager Ron Roenicke plans to rest starters early in the season, per Ian Browne of MLB.com, so Plawecki replaced Christian Vazquez on Saturday. That could mean Plawecki is the top backup, ahead of Jonathan Lucroy, who appeared as a fill-in for Vazquez in the season-opening blowout win over the Orioles on Friday. Expect Plawecki and Lucroy to get their chances over the first few weeks of the season to establish themselves as the deserving backup before roster cut-downs.

Enters game late Lucroy entered Friday's blowout win over the Orioles late and caught the final two innings.

Impact Christian Vazquez is the primary starter at catcher, but the battle of the backups -- Lucroy and Kevin Plawecki -- is not clear. Seeing Lucroy enter Friday's game could be a sign that manager Ron Roenicke favors Lucroy over Plawecki.
