Connor Wong Suffers Fractured Finger, Heading To Injured List
Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong (finger) suffered a fractured left finger in Monday's series opener against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park and will land on the 10-day injured list. Manager Alex Cora said the team hasn't decided on a corresponding move, but it will likely be Blake Sabol joining the big-league roster to serve as the backup at catcher behind Carlos Narvaez. Wong's catching hand was hit by a bat on catcher's interference, and he immediately had to be removed from the game in favor of Narvaez, who ended up going 0-for-4 in the 6-2 loss. There's no exact timetable for the 28-year-old's return, but Wong will most likely not be ready to go in 10 days. After a breakout season in 2024, Wong came into Monday's game hitting just .087 (2-for-23) with seven strikeouts in his first eight games of 2025.
