Leon is not in the lineup Thursday against the Orioles, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

This marks the second day in a row that Leon will cede catching duties to Christian Vazquez. On the surface it might seem a little surprising considering Leon has been significantly better against lefties this season (.308 batting average) than against righties (.200 BA) and southpaw Wade Miley is throwing for the Orioles. However, Vazquez almost always catches Thursday's starter Eduardo Rodriguez (along with Drew Pomeranz).
