Red Sox's Blake Swihart: Out of walking boot
Swihart (ankle) is out of his walking boot and into a brace, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.
Analysis:
The move to a brace allows Swihart to put some pressure on his injured left ankle and commence a throwing program. He appears to be ahead of what was originally expected, but manager John Farrell said there's "still a ways to go."
