Connor Wong News
Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 27-year-old was expected to be the starting catcher to begin the season. However, Wong has only started three of the team's first eight games of the season. Instead of Wong, the Red Sox will go with Reese McGuire behind the plate and he'll bat ninth against right-hander Griffin Canning.
Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong is expected to remain the club's top option behind the dish this season, according to Julian McWilliams of the Boston Globe. The young backstop emerged as an everyday option last year, slashing .235/.288/.385 while posting 0.9 dWAR and 4.0 DRS behind the plate. The 27-year-old is clearly Boston's top catching option, adding much more defensive value than Reese McGuire, who is seen as more of a bat-first player and hit lefties quite well last year. (Historically, McGuire has had more success against right-handed pitching.) Expect Wong to exceed 100 games once again this year, further cementing himself as a possible long-term option at the big-league level.
Boston Red Sox backstop Connor Wong is absent from Tuesday's lineup for the game against Luis Medina and the Oakland Athletics. The 27-year-old is a fine option in two-catcher leagues, as he's hitting .242 with six homers, 33 runs, 23 RBI, and two steals over 74 games. Jorge Alfaro will take his spot behind the plate and bat eighth. The former prospect has been quiet with the bat this year across 14 games, slashing .175/.233/.350, and he owns a career 85 wRC+ against righties. With right-hander Medina on the mound, fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere on the waiver wire.
