Back in action Tuesday McGuire (hand) is back in the Red Sox' lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore, Tyler Milliken of 98.5 The Sports Hub reports.

Impact McGuire was out of commission for a couple days after taking a foul tip off the hand, but he's fine. He will bat ninth and catch Corey Kluber.

Could be available off bench McGuire (hand) could be available in an emergency Sunday against the Brewers, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact The 28-year-old took a foul tip to the right hand during Saturday's contest but had X-rays come back negative, and it appears he won't require a stint on the injured list. The Red Sox may try to stay away from McGuire for a day or two, but the team may not need to add a third catcher to the roster since he's still technically available.

X-rays negative McGuire underwent X-rays on his right hand Saturday, which came back negative. "It's a little swollen right now, a little bruised," McGuire said.

Impact McGuire took a foul tip off the hand in the eighth inning of Saturday's loss to Milwaukee but stayed in the game. He entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning for Connor Wong, and Boston did not have another catcher available. McGuire added that he'd ice the hand and be ready for Sunday's game.

Undergoing imaging on hand McGuire is undergoing x-rays on his hand after Saturday's game to the Brewers, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports. He went 0-for-2 in the loss.

Impact McGuire came in as a pinch-hitter for Connor Wong and it's unclear when he picked up the injury during Saturday's contest. The backstop should be considered day-to-day at this point.

Losing time to Connor Wong McGuire is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting McGuire will sit for the fifth time in seven games, with three absences coming against lefty pitchers and two coming against righties. McGuire has posted an .819 OPS over a small sample of 14 plate appearances, but his inability to control the run game appears to be the major reason why manager Alex Cora has favored Connor Wong as Boston's top backstop. Despite being behind the plate just 36 innings on the season, McGuire has allowed an MLB-leading 14 steals and has yet to throw out a baserunner.

Not in Saturday's lineup McGeuire is out of the lineup for Saturday's game at Detroit, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact McGuire is 4-for-13 to begin the and will continue splitting time behind the plate with Connor Wong. With Wong starting Saturday, each catcher has started four games this season.

Sits again Wednesday McGuire is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Even with the Pirates bringing a right-hander (Mitch Keller) to the hill for the series finale, the lefty-hitting McGuire will find himself on the bench for the third time in four games while the righty-hitting Connor Wong gets another turn behind the dish. McGuire remains atop the depth chart at catcher for now, but he may be Option 1A rather than a clear-cut starter or even a strong-side platoon option at the position.

Sitting in second straight McGuire is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact McGuire was on the bench for Sunday's series finale with the Orioles in what was believed to be a routine maintenance day, but he'll end up taking a seat for the second straight contest as Boston opens a six-game week. Connor Wong will get another turn behind the dish Monday, though McGuire still appears to be viewed as the team's top backstop.

Resting Sunday McGuire is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact McGuire will get a day off for the first time in the young season after he started behind the plate in both of Boston's first two games while going 1-for-6 at the dish. Connor Wong will catch for starting pitcher Tanner Houck in the series finale.

Batting .231 McGuire went 0-for-3 in Saturday's spring game against the Orioles.

Impact With Connor Wong (hamstring) unlikely to be ready by Opening Day, McGuire and Jorge Alfaro are expected to open the regular season as Boston's catchers. McGuire, who is 6-for-26 (.231) over 11 Grapefruit League games, should be the primary backstop.
