"Everything is fine. No concussion and I am good to go," Swihart told Pete Abraham.

Abraham also reports that Swihart was fitted for a special mouth guard two weeks ago that will protect from shots to the jaw. Unfortunately, it hasn't arrived yet and he will have to wear a temporary model until then. He will return to game action on Wednesday..

Swihart Exits Game With Bruised Jaw - 03/13/2016 @ 5:00 PM

Assumed Red Sox starting catcher, Blake Swihart, suffered a bruised jaw when a foul ball deflected off his mask during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

It has been reported that Swihart suffered a contusion to his jaw, but that he came back negative for any signs of a concussion.

“He got his bell rung, obviously,” Red Sox manager John Farrell told WEEI. “We’ll check him tomorrow, obviously monitor him day to day. At this point no further test unless things don’t clear up. Again with contusion, we’ll monitor day to day.”

Stay tuned for updates.
