Connor Wong Likely To Go On Rehab Assignment This Weekend
Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong (finger) took batting practice on Wednesday and caught a bullpen session. Manager Alex Cora said that Wong is fine with catching but needs to catch up hitting-wise. The 28-year-old backstop will likely go on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, which means he could be a candidate to come off the injured list and rejoin the BoSox's lineup at some point late next week. Wong is recovering from a fractured left pinkie finger in early April and will eventually return to being the club's primary catcher after his breakout season in 2024. In the meantime, Carlos Narvaez will be Boston's No. 1 backstop, with Blake Sabol backing him up. Wong had only played in nine games in 2025 before injuring his finger and had gone just 2-for-23 with a steal and seven strikeouts. Hopefully, he'll be more productive upon his return.
