| 9/11/24 | Connor Wong Credits 2024 Breakout To 'Legend' Red Sox Catcher. The Boston Red Sox rolled into 2024 with two catchers on their Opening Day roster, but it has been Connor Wong who's taken the reins of the go-to role by shining the brightest during an impressive fourth season with the organization. Defensively, Wong has also been reliable, logging a .995 fielding percentage while also giving Boston scattered appearances at second and first base to fill its occasional infield voids.

| 9/05/24 | Red Sox Starter Could Lose Role With Team Down Stretch With Cold Streak. The Boston Red Sox could have a tough difficult decision to make in the not-so-distant future. Connor Wong has shined for the Red Sox this season as the team's starting catcher but the club has No. 3 prospect Kyle Teel knocking on the door of the big leagues. The 2023 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft first-round draft pick has shined his first full professional season. Teel began the season with the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs and appeared in 84 games and slashed .299/.390/.462 with 11 home runs and 60 RBIs.

| 8/20/24 | As Red Sox aim for first win vs. Astros, Connor Wong (.641 August OPS) gets breather. The Red Sox will try to shake off Monday's brutal loss Tuesday night against the Astros, and they'll do it without Connor Wong in the lineup. With Danny Jansen catching for the third time in four days, Wong is out of Boston's lineup for just the second time in the last 11 games (he was the designated hitter Saturday and Monday). The rest comes at a good time for Wong, who has caught 77 games for the Sox so far and has been struggling at the plate lately. Entering Monday, Wong is hitting .258 with only five extra-base hits and a .641 OPS in 63 August plate appearances. Source: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2024/08/as-red-sox... |

| 7/12/24 | Game 93: Royals at Red Sox lineups and notes. Just a three-game series with the Kansas City Royals is all that stands between the Red Sox and the All-Star break.

The Red Sox hold the last wild-card spot, one game ahead of the Royals. Here are the standings .

A 7-0 win over Oakland on Thursday moved the Red Sox back to 10 games above the .500 mark, was their eighth win in their last 10 games, and secured their third straight series victory. Connor Wong, Wilyer Abreu and Masataka Yoshida all socked home runs to highlight the team's 10-hit attack -- and 13th three-homer game of the season -- while All-Star righty Tanner Houck threw six shutout, two-hit innings to post his eighth win. Manager Alex Cora's club will look to continue their winning ways for one more series before next week's All-Star Game festivities in Arlington, Texas.

| 6/28/24 | Connor Wong position buzz might suggest Red Sox are prepping for top prospect arrival.

Wong is slashing .330/.390/.480 with a .870 OPS, seven homers and 29 RBI through 57 games.

| 6/22/24 | Red Sox's Connor Wong Continues To Build Impressive All-Star Campaign. A key goal for the Red Sox this season was to see which young players would continue their development, and Connor Wong has been one of the faces of that effort. Of course, Jarren Duran's lightning-quick athleticism flies off the TV screen, but Wong also has been making a case as one of Boston's cornerstone players. After Friday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park, Wong leads qualified American League catchers with a 1.9 fWAR and a .360 batting average.
