Red Sox's Vazquez to work on game plans, opponents in rehab
Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez returned to the clubhouse for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery on Tuesday. The procedure is expected to keep him sidelined for at leats 12 months.
“I don't know [the rehab plan] yet, but I'm going to find out,” Vazquez said, per ESPN.
Although Vazquez's rehab plan has not been established, manager John Farrell hinted that it will involve studying game plans and opponents.
"We don't have the exact details worked out on that, but [in] situations like this that I've seen, you can do some things to bring along the thought pattern and how it can play out in time," Farrell said. "We don't want this nine to 12 months of time to not be constructive, so we'll put a structure and framework to it to try to do the best we can to keep his knowledge of the league and his interaction with us -- even though it's not going to be in uniform -- to continue to grow."
