Wong started as Boston’s Plan A at catcher but went on the IL early, paving Narváez’s breakout; his return later altered the dynamic while Narváez cemented his value.

Wong’s RBI double delivered the Red Sox early scoring and highlighted a Boston offense that rode a late surge to momentum. His presence reinforces Boston’s depth behind the plate, while the Sox capitalized on the Yankees’ rough weekend to position themselves in the wild-card chase.

Wong appears in the seventh-inning rally sequence, providing BOS with additional run-scoring depth on the night and offering multi-position roster versatility for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Wong’s slash of .169/.239/.202/.441 with only five RBIs and four extra-base hits marks a collapse from last season’s showing. The piece emphasizes his occasional starts but notes his OPS+ at 26, far below replacement level, and attributes part of the drop to limited playing time while Narváez handles most duties.

Connor Wong has struggled all season, raising the need for Narvaez and Sánchez depth. With Sánchez added, Wong’s role could be relegated to occasional duties unless he reignites his offensive approach or defensive versatility, particularly if Narvaez remains limited.
