Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games and looks to have at least temporarily fallen behind Carlos Narvaez on the depth chart at catcher. Wong produced a respectable .758 OPS over 487 plate appearances with Boston in 2024 but has struggled to find a rhythm at the plate since rejoining the big club May 2 following a stint on the injured list due to a broken finger. He's gone just 4-for-18 with one walk against six strikeouts since being activated and is slashing .146/.239/.146 overall on the season.

Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
After going 3-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Saturday's 10-1 win, Carlos Narvaez will be rewarded with another start behind the dish. The Red Sox have turned their catching situation into a timeshare with Wong stumbling to a .396 OPS over his first 42 plate appearances this season. Narvaez owns a .730 OPS across 102 plate appearances.

Wong is not in Boston's lineup Saturday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Wong is sitting for the second time in Boston's last three games, though he should return Sunday for the series finale against Kansas City. Carlos Narvaez will take over behind the plate and hit eighth.

Wong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wong will get some rest for the day game after he went 1-for-4 with a run scored while catching all nine innings of Wednesday's 6-4 win. He'll give way to Carlos Narvaez behind the dish in the series finale.

Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
After starting behind the dish in the first two games of the series following his activation from the 10-day injured list Friday, Wong will get a breather as the Red Sox wrap up their three-game set with the Twins. Carlos Narvaez will replace Wong behind the plate.

Wong went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Wong spent nearly a month on the 10-day injured list with finger injury. While catcher is his primary position, Wong made six starts at first base in 2024 and could be an option there after Triston Casas left Friday's contest with a significant knee injury.

The Red Sox activated Wong (finger) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, Boston optioned Blake Sabol to Triple-A Worcester. Wong suffered a broken finger back on April 7 but is ready to return ahead of Friday night's game against the Twins. Wong was hitting .087/.192/.087 with zero extra-base hits and zero RBI across 26 plate appearances prior to his injury.

Wong (finger) started at catcher and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wong was held out of Wednesday's game due to soreness in his finger but was back behind the plate Thursday for a full game. He's caught all three games while on rehab with the WooSox and could be activated at some point during Boston's weekend series against Minnesota. Wong has not yet caught on back-to-back days, which could be a requirement before the Red Sox activate him off the 10-day injured list.

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.
