After making five consecutive starts -- three at catcher, two at DH -- Wong will take a seat Tuesday. In his place, Danny Jansen will catch and Masataka Yoshida will DH as the Red Sox take on Ronel Blanco and the Astros.

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.

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.

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.
