C/1B BOS
Wong went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Wong hit safely for a fourth consecutive game and is 7-for-17 with five extra-base hits during the streak. He's experienced a production drop over July and August, but Wong's .287/.338/.439 line out of the catcher's slot still plays for fantasy managers.

Wong went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Wong took Chris Flexen deep in the second inning for this 13th home run of the season before adding a double and a single to record his first three-hit game since Aug. 2. Wong has cooled off considerably after a hot start to the season but he is still enjoying a career year, batting .286 with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, 51 runs scored and six stolen bases in 110 games.

C/1B BOS
Wong will start at second base and bat sixth Saturday against the Tigers, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As Smith notes, Wong has played 21 innings at second base in his major-league career, but this will be his first career start at the position. Wong homered and doubled in Friday's win over Detroit, and overall he's slashing .285/.339/.432 with 12 homers in 401 plate appearances this season. He could end up playing more at second base than Nick Sogard in the absence of David Hamilton (finger).

C/1B BOS
Wong went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Wong doubled a run home in the fourth inning and then increased Boston's lead with a homer in the sixth. He'd gone eight games without an RBI and 11 without a home run. The catcher's unsustainable BABIP from earlier in the season has caught up to him in the second half, but Wong continues to be a clutch hitter for the Red Sox, posting a .309 average with runners in scoring position.

Wong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston.

Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Wong will get a rest after he started at catcher each of the past three days while going 4-for-12 with a home run, a double, a walk, three RBI and three runs. Danny Jansen will check in for Wong behind the plate in the series finale.

10DConnor Wong
C/1B BOS
Wong went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
He launched a Jose Urena slider over the Green Monster in the third inning to give the Red Sox a 6-0 lead. Wong has cooled down a bit in August, slashing .289/.304/.422 through 10 games with a 37.0 percent strikeout rate, but the 28-year-old backstop has already put together a career-best campaign with 11 homers and 43 RBI through 91 contests. With Danny Jansen and Mickey Gasper now on the roster, it wouldn't a surprise if manager Alex Cora tries to find a bit more rest for Wong down the stretch, even if it's just at a less demanding defensive position -- Wong's seen action in nine games at first base, five at DH and four at second base already this season.
