Wong is starting at first base and batting fifth in Saturday's game against the Rangers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first start for Wong in the field anywhere other than catcher in his major-league career, per Cotillo. Wong's move to first base allows Boston to start new acquisition Danny Jansen behind home plate for Saturday's contest. Since the All-Star break, Wong has slashed .289/.360/.489 with three doubles, two home runs and five RBI across 49 plate appearances.

Wong went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and one RBI in Friday's 11-6 victory over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The Boston backstop posted his third four-hit game of the season with this effort, knocking four singles. After batting just .211 (16-for-76) in July, this performance was a welcome sight for Wong since he may have to compete for playing time with the recently acquired Danny Jansen. Overall, Wong is now slashing .304/.366/.450 with 10 homers, 39 runs scored and 37 RBI across 320 plate appearances this season.

Wong is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mariners, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wong had caught each of the previous five games for the Red Sox, so he will get some rest during Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Danny Jansen will start behind the dish.

Wong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Wong was on the latter end of back-to-back solo home runs by he and Rob Refsnyder for the team's only two runs of the evening. Wong's home run set a new season-best for him with 10, and he needs two more RBI to surpass the 36 he had last year. The 28-year-old is having a productive year despite not having an everyday role, slashing .297/.362/.446 with 20 extra-base hits, 35 RBI, 35 runs, five steals and a 20:65 BB:K in 307 plate appearances. Wong will have a new running mate behind the dish for the rest of the season after the Red Sox traded for Danny Jansen from the Blue Jays and designated Reese McGuire for assignment.

Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Colorado, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wong had started each of the last four games, so it's no surprise to see him begin Wednesday's afternoon contest on the bench. Reese McGuire will catch for the Red Sox.

Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wong will get two straight days off to close out the Red Sox's pre-All-Star-break schedule, as Reese McGuire gets another nod behind the plate in the series finale. Despite his limited usage this weekend, Wong remains entrenched atop the depth chart at catcher after producing a .309 batting average and .812 OPS through 269 plate appearances on the season.

Wong went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Wong walked and scored in the first inning, belted a solo home run in the third, then singled and scored on Masataka Yoshida's home run in the sixth. Wong's home run was his eighth in 68 games, one shy of the career-high nine he hit in 2023 over 126 games. The catcher is having a career year; his .826 OPS in 2024 is 156 points higher than what it was over his first three MLB seasons.
