Filling in for banged-up Narvaez Wong will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Wong will draw his fourth straight start behind the plate while top backstop Carlos Narvaez (knee) remains day-to-day. Per Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald, manager Alex Cora said that Narvaez is available for Sunday's series finale, but the Red Sox are electing to stick with Wong since he serves as starting pitcher Brayan Bello's personal catcher. Cora added that Narvaez will return to the lineup Monday in Houston, and Wong is likely to see his playing time tail off as a result.

Filling in for resting Narvaez Wong will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Though he'll get the start behind the dish in the series finale, Wong doesn't appear to be making a serious push to supplant Carlos Narvaez as the Red Sox's No. 1 catcher. Narvaez has produced a .917 OPS since the beginning of May, while Wong is slashing just .179/.289/.179 over that same stretch of action.

Losing work to Narvaez Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Wong will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games and looks to have at least temporarily fallen behind Carlos Narvaez on the depth chart at catcher. The 28-year-old produced a respectable .758 OPS over 487 plate appearances with Boston in 2024 but has struggled to find a rhythm at the plate since rejoining the big club May 2 following a stint on the injured list due to a broken finger. He's gone just 4-for-18 with one walk against six strikeouts since being activated and is slashing .146/.239/.146 overall on the season.

Falling into timeshare arrangement Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact After going 3-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Saturday's 10-1 win, Carlos Narvaez will be rewarded with another start behind the dish, relegating Wong to a bench role for the second straight day. The Red Sox have turned their catching situation into more of a timeshare arrangement while Wong has struggled to a .396 OPS over his first 42 plate appearances of the season. Narvaez, meanwhile, owns a .730 OPS across 102 plate appearances.

Sitting Saturday Wong is not in Boston's lineup Saturday against the Royals.
