Connor Wong is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend, signaling a potential return to the Boston Red Sox lineup as early as Tuesday in Toronto. His recovery from a broken left pinky finger appears to be progressing well, as he participated in a bullpen session catching Tanner Houck. While Wong's ability to hit remains under evaluation, the team is optimistic about his swift return.

In Wong's absence, the Red Sox utilized Carlos Narvaez, who has struggled offensively but received praise for his defensive skills. Blake Sabol served as the backup, but he is likely to be optioned out once Wong returns. Additionally, veteran catcher Yasmani Grandal, currently with the WooSox, could also be in the mix, especially with an opt-out option looming soon.
