Vazquez won't be on the Red Sox's 25-man roster to begin the season, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Vazquez hasn't experienced any setbacks since returning from Tommy John surgery during the spring, but the team's main priority remains building up the young catcher's innings behind the plate. It hasn't been determined yet whether he'll begin the season at Triple-A Pawtucket or stick around in Fort Myers, Fla. for extended spring training, but once the Red Sox feel confident that he's fully healthy, Vazquez could displace Ryan Hanigan as the backup catcher behind Blake Swihart.
