The Boston Red Sox welcome back Connor Wong, who has been activated from the injured list after recovering from a left pinky fracture. In a limited sample this season, Wong struggled with a .087 batting average and .279 OPS, but showed promise during his rehab stint in Triple-A, hitting .364 with a 1.156 OPS. His improved walk-to-strikeout ratio is a positive sign for his return to the big leagues.

Wong’s defensive play has never matched that of Carlos Narváez, which could limit his opportunities unless he excels offensively. Meanwhile, Blake Sabol, who filled in during Wong's absence, has struggled significantly and will likely be sent back to the minors. The Red Sox's depth in the lineup may favor a defensive-first approach, but Wong offers intriguing potential as a bat at the bottom of the order.
