Connor Wong Undergoes Hand Surgery
The Boston Red Sox announced that catcher Connor Wong (hand) had successful right-hand carpal-boss excision on Thursday, according to Christopher Smith of Mass Live. The procedure was performed by Dr. Matthew Leibman at Mass General Brigham Hospital. The surgery was considered more of a minor procedure, so Wong should be ready to report to spring training in mid-February of 2026. The 29-year-old backstop broke out in 2024 with a .280 average (125-for-447) with a career-best 13 home runs, 52 RBI, 54 runs, and eight stolen bases. Injuries didn't help him in 2025, though, and he quickly lost the starting gig in Beantown to Carlos Narvaez and finished with an ugly .190/.262/.238 slash line, no home runs, seven RBI, 16 runs, and two steals in just 63 games. Wong will enter spring training next year as the backup to Narvaez.
