Wong (hamstring) was cleared to resume hitting Wednesday, Mike Monaco of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wong is dealing with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, but the backstop has been able to participate in agility drills and now is able to swing the bat as he looks to make his way back. The backstop has a chance to be ready for Opening Day, but it's far from a foregone conclusion at this point.

Wong (hamstring) was able to go through some agility drills Sunday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wong has also been doing some running in the pool. While he might be a tad ahead of schedule in his recovery from a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Wong's availability for Opening Day remains very much up in the air.

Wong has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the least severe strain he could have suffered, which is obviously good news. There's no timetable for Wong's return, however, and at this point on the calendar there would seem to be a pretty good chance he'll need an injured list stint. Non-roster invitee Jorge Alfaro seems like a lock for the roster now, if he wasn't already.

Wong had to exit Thursday's Grapefruit League game versus the Phillies with a left hamstring injury, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said after the game of Wong's injury that "it doesn't look great right now but hopefully we get better news tomorrow morning." It sounds like this could lead to an injured list stint for Wong, which would officially open the door for non-roster invitee Jorge Alfaro to make the team as Reese McGuire's backup.

Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After starting three of Boston's last four games, Wong will take a seat as the Red Sox wrap up their season Wednesday. The 26-year-old produced a .572 OPS in 55 plate appearances in the big leagues in 2022 and could get the chance to compete for a No. 2 role at catcher next spring.

Wong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wong will take a seat for the third time in four games and may be the Red Sox's No. 2 catcher behind Reese McGuire at this point. Upon joining Boston as a Sept. 1 call-up from Triple-A Worcester, Wong went 3-for-12 with two extra-base hits and three walks in his first six games with Boston, but he's since slashed .200/.200/.267 with a 62.5 percent strikeout rate over his subsequent 10 contests.

Wong isn't starting Saturday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wong has split playing time behind the dish recently and will head to the bench for a second consecutive matchup. Reese McGuire is starting at catcher and batting eighth.

Wong will sit Friday versus the Yankees, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wong will take a seat after he went 1-for-2 with a strikeout in Thursday's series opener. Reese McGuire will replace him behind the plate and bat eighth against New York.

Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wong should have a clearer path to the Red Sox's No. 1 catcher role after the team recently dropped Kevin Plawecki from the 40-man roster, but Wong will give way to Reese McGuire behind the plate for the series finale in Cincinnati. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Worcester on Sept. 1, Wong has hit .217 with a home run, five runs and four RBI in 12 games.

Wong isn't starting Friday against the Royals, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wong has seen a slight uptick in playing time in early September, but he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last five games. Kevin Plawecki is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.
