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.

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).

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.
