Latest News About Connor Wong

Here’s the latest on Connor Wong I can share right now.

• Summary: Connor Wong has been involved in Red Sox catching plans, with recent reports noting his continued role in the catching mix and occasional shifts in playing time between him and Carlos Narváez, as of late April 2026. This follows his spring and early-season activity after shoulder/hand procedures in previous seasons. [sources vary, but recent outlets discuss his OPS and playing time in 2026]

• Key takeaways:

  • Hitting: He has posted a strong OPS relative to Narváez in early 2026, suggesting he’s been the more productive hitter when in the lineup. This has influenced managers to keep him in a prominent catching role at times.
  • Playing time: He’s been in and out of the lineup on some days, with Narváez starting on certain days, indicating a platoon-like arrangement depending on matchup and form.
  • Health context: Wong returned to full health after prior hand surgery, which helps explain fluctuations in his 2025 performance and his 2026 availability.

• Notable recent items you might care about:

  • April 2026 reports highlighted Wong starting multiple games in a row before some days off, reinforcing that he’s in the mix for daily catching duties when hot.
  • Coverage suggests the Red Sox may still view him as a primary option behind the plate, at least on a week-to-week basis, depending on performance and roster needs.
