Wong (finger) isn't catching on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday due to hand soreness, but manager Alex Cora is still hoping for an activation from the injured list this weekend, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old is experiencing some soreness after catching Tuesday's game, and he's expected to make another start for Worcester before potentially rejoining the Red Sox. Wong has gone 3-for-7 with a walk, a double and two RBI through two games of the rehab assignment, but his availability behind the plate is the real concern as he makes his return from a fractured left pinkie finger. Carlos Narvaez has played well in Wong's absence, and it appears Cora may plan to split playing time behind the plate rather than using Wong as a clear No. 1 option once both players are available, per Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Wong (finger) went 2-for-4 with an RBI in his first rehab game with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Shelved since early April with a fractured left pinky finger, Wong shouldn't need too many rehab games before being activated from the 10-day injured list. He could be back with the Red Sox at some point later this week.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Wong (finger) will likely begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Working his way back from a fractured left pinky finger suffered in early April, Wong is able to catch without issue but still has some progress to make while swinging the bat. If the catcher is indeed able to begin playing in rehab games this weekend, he could rejoin the Red Sox at some point next week.

Wong (finger) has progressed to hitting off a tee, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Recovering from a fractured left pinky finger, Wong hasn't done much catching yet but is expected to be cleared for that soon. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Wong could return in around two-and-a-half weeks, while the catcher believes it'll be sooner than that.

The Red Sox placed Wong on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left finger, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wong suffered the injury Monday versus the Blue Jays when his hand was hit by a bat on a catcher's interference. It's not yet clear how long he will be sidelined, but it will surely be more than a minimum stay on the IL. Carlos Narvaez will be Boston's primary catcher while Wong is out and Blake Sabol has been recalled to back Narvaez up.

Wong will require a stint on the 10-day injured list after being diagnosed with fractured left finger, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wong had his catching hand smacked by a bat during Monday's matchup against the Blue Jays, resulting in catcher's interference and his removal from the game. The injury will sideline Wong for at least the next 10 days and presumably longer given the nature of the issue. Skipper Alex Cora noted after the game that the team hasn't decided who to promote in Wong's stead, though Blake Sabol seems to be the likely candidate to handle backup catching duties. Carlos Narvaez will step in as the starting backstop while Wong recovers.

Wong left Monday's game against the Blue Jays due to a bruised left hand, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wong appeared to suffer the injury on a catcher's interference call and left the game shortly after. He's presumably headed for further testing and can be considered day-to-day until the team provides another update on his availability moving forward. Carlos Narvaez replaced Wong behind the dish and would be in line for more chances if Wong is forced to miss additional time.

Wong is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wong will head to the bench after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Boston's 5-4 extra-inning matinee win Sunday. Carlos Narvaez will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in the nightcap.
