Homers in loss Wong served as the designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to Colorado.

Impact Wong game the Red Sox an early lead with a two-run home run in the second inning. It was his first of the season and first since September of 2024. He was an unlikely DH -- just the third time this season -- but the Red Sox carry three catchers and had Mickey Gasper on the bench if needed. Wong is slashing .270/.356/.393 with the one home run, 12 RBI, two steals and 12 runs scored across 33 games.

Tanner Bibee Sets Franchise Record For Longest Season-Opening Win Drought

Red Sox break through with 6 runs in the 7th to defeat Guardians 9-4

Masataka Yoshida had the go-ahead single during a six-run seventh inning and the Boston Red Sox rallied for a 9-4 victory over the Cleveland Guardians

Big day in win Wong went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Guardians.

Impact Wong had a go-head, run-scoring double in the sixth inning and then singled home a pair in Boston's six-run ninth inning. He thought a home run drought dating back to September of 2024 had ended, but his sixth-inning home run was changed to a double. Despite Saturday's effort, Wong sits no better than third on the catching depth chart. This, after interim manager Chad Tracy on Saturday anointed Mickey Gasper as Boston's primary catcher against right-handers, per Tim Healy of The Boston Globe.

Checking back into starting nine Wong (ankle) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Royals.

Impact Carlos Narvaez (finger) is on the bench for the series opener after exiting Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta, but Wong is feeling well enough to make his first start since Wednesday following a recent bout with a right ankle injury. Wong came off the bench to replace Narvaez in Sunday's contest, going 1-for-2 with a run scored.

Exits after rolling ankle Wong was removed from Wednesday's game against the Phillies with an ankle injury, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wong rolled his ankle while attempting to catch a pop fly in the eighth inning of Wednesday's contest and was replaced behind the plate when the Sox took the field in the ninth. Boston will likely provide an update on his status after the game. Any missed time for Wong would move Mickey Gasper into the backup catcher role.

Red Sox erupt for 10 runs in the ninth, beat Orioles 17-1

Andruw Monasterio hit a grand slam as part of a 10-run ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox snapped a four-game skid with a 17-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles

On bench again Tuesday Wong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact It's the third straight game on the bench for Wong after starting the previous three contests. The 29-year-old's .885 OPS in 27 plate appearances this year is far superior to Carlos Narvaez's .542 mark, though Narvaez now appears to have the upper hand for playing time after a strong couple games at the plate.

Taking seat again Monday Wong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

Impact After a stretch of three consecutive starts behind the plate, Wong will end up ceding catching duties to Carlos Narvaez for the second day in a row. With an .885 OPS compared to Narvaez's .449 mark on the season, Wong has been the far more productive hitter of the two, so the Red Sox could still view him as Option 1A at catcher for the time being.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting after three straight starts Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Though he'll give way to Carlos Narvaez behind the dish for the series finale, Wong may have supplanted the former atop the Red Sox's catching depth chart. Wong started each of the previous three games and owns an .885 OPS for the season, more than doubling up Narvaez's mark (.409). At least while he's dramatically outperforming Narvaez at the dish, Wong could be in line for the lion's share of the starts.
