Kevin Plawecki (jaw) available off Red Sox's bench Wednesday

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki (jaw) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against right-hander Jake Odorizzi and the Houston Astros.

Plawecki was removed from Tuesday's game with a jaw contusion, but he is feeling better and will be available off the bench for Wednesday's contest. Christian Vazquez will catch Nathan Eovaldi and hit eighth.
