After losing starter Christian Vazquez during spring training to Tommy John surgery, new starter Ryan Hanigan went down Friday night with a fractured knuckle with surgery likely being needed.Swihart is hitting .338/.392/.382 for Pawtucket.
Manager John Farrell said he will be out a "substantial" amount of time.
A source tells WEEI.com's John Tomase, Blake Swihart will be the guy called up to replace Hanigan, which leaves Sandy Leon and Swihart as the Red Sox' catchers.
