The Boston Red Sox placed catcher Connor Wong on the paternity list on Monday and recalled catcher Tyler Heineman from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Wong will now miss up to the next three days while tending to a personal matter. Reese McGuire will handle the catching duties for Boston on Monday and will bat eighth against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt. Heineman will back up McGuire while Wong is away from the club this week. Fantasy managers should expect the 28-year-old Wong to next suit up on Friday against the San Diego Padres. While he's certainly due regression in the second half of the year, Wong is as hot as can be right now and currently is riding a 13-game hitting streak that has seen him go 17-for-48 (.354) with two homers and 10 RBI since June 6. He's hitting .330/.390/.480 with an .870 OPS, seven homers and 29 RBI in a breakout season.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong (finger) caught a bullpen session on Tuesday. The 28-year-old caught a bullpen from Kutter Crawford (knee). Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic noted that Wong is expected to continue to catch bullpens as he slowly increases his workload. Wong has been on the injured list since suffering a fractured left pinky during the first week of April. Before the injury, the backstop held a .087/.192/.087 slash line with just two hits (all singles) across nine games. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression as he could be cleared to progress to the next step if he does not face any setbacks. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue to stash Wong on their injured reserve, as he was a very effective backstop last season, as he held a .2890/.333/.425 line. He should be deployed as the top backstop in Boston once he is cleared to return and will carry low-end C1 value.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

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.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong (hand) has been removed early during Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Wong was hit in the hand on a catcher's interference play during the first inning. He suffered a right hand contusion when George Springer hit him in the glove hand, which led to him being replaced. Carlos Narvaez took over behind the plate in the second inning as the Red Sox didn't want to take any risks. The expectation is that Wong will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should consider Wong as day-to-day until there's another update.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong will take a seat for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Carlos Narvaez will do the catching for right-hander Tanner Houck and will hit eighth in the batting order versus veteran right-hander Charlie Morton. Wong could use the day off, as the 28-year-old has just one hit in his first 21 plate appearances over six games in 2025 with a steal, two walks and six punchouts. This will be only Narvaez's second game of the early season and just his eighth total game in the majors after debuting with the New York Yankees in 2024. He's gone 1-for-3 with an RBI, a walk and a strikeout so far this year and should be avoided in DFS formats on Thursday. Narvaez has never faced Morton.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
