As the 2025 MLB season progresses, the Boston Red Sox find themselves in a competitive spot, holding a 16-14 record and standing second in the American League East, just 1.5 games behind the New York Yankees. Looking to maintain momentum, the Red Sox head into a critical three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, riding a two-game winning streak and having won six out of their last ten games.

In contrast, the Blue Jays have struggled recently, losing seven of their past ten contests. The Red Sox have also announced the beginning of a rehab assignment for catcher Connor Wong, who has been out due to a left fifth finger fracture. Wong had a breakout season in 2024 and is anticipated to be a key contributor upon his return. His absence has opened the door for rookie Carlos Narvaez, who, despite a subpar batting performance, has excelled defensively, earning him continued playing time even when Wong is back.
