Connor Wong boosts Red Sox as catcher amid playoff push
Summary

Connor Wong has emerged as a critical player for the Boston Red Sox this season, showcasing his hitting skills with a.294 batting average and contributing 15 RBI in 38 games. His performance comes as the team sweeps two of three series, winning 10 of their last 12 games. Previously shaky at the catcher position, Wong’s success offers a temporary solution while the Red Sox consider long-term options. Despite a streaky history, the team may benefit from starting Wong over Carlos Narvaez going forward.
