Draws first start Wong started at catcher and went 2-for-3 with a double in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

Impact Wong made his first start of the season, as Carlos Narvaez was given a breather. The former also made an appearance in Saturday's game and didn't have a good at-bat while striking out in the 10th inning. That was a stark reminder of the struggles he endured in 2025, when Wong batted .190 with a .500 OPS and lost the starting gig to Narvaez. As such, Sunday's two-hit effort was an encouraging sign for the backup catcher, who slashed .121/.216/.152 in spring training.

Set for backup catcher role in 2026 Wong (hand) took part in live batting practice Monday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wong reported to camp last week and appears to be fully healthy after he underwent a carpal boss excision procedure on his right hand back on Oct. 9. The hand issue perhaps played a factor in Wong's dramatic drop in production in 2025, when OPS fell down to .500 over his 188 plate appearances after he had posted a .758 OPS the season prior. Carlos Narvaez ended up overtaking Wong on the depth chart, and manager Alex Cora relayed Saturday that Narvaez "earned the right" to be the team's starter heading into 2026, per Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. Cora added that Wong's solid defense behind the plate should allow him to play more frequently than the typical backup catcher, and the 29-year-old could also be an option to make starts first base when Willson Contreras needs a day off.

Avoids arbitration with Red Sox The Red Sox and Wong (hand) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday.

Impact It's unclear how much the deal is worth, but Wong was projected to make around $1.5 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility. It was a disastrous 2025 season for the 29-year-old, as he lost his starting job to Carlos Narvaez and finished with a .500 OPS and zero home runs over 63 regular-season contests. Wong -- who is expected to be recovered from October right hand surgery by spring training -- will be Narvaez's backup at catcher again in 2026.
