The Boston Red Sox continue to perform well despite early-season lineup changes and injury concerns, including uncertainty around Walker Buehler’s status. Ahead of Friday’s matchup against the Minnesota Twins, the team made two roster moves to strengthen their lineup. Catcher Connor Wong returns to the roster, replacing Carlos Narvaez after a brief nine-game stint. Blake Sabol was also optioned, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.
Wong, a long-time Red Sox player, is familiar to the team but will be catching for some pitchers—like Garrett Crochet— for the first time. Crochet is slated to start Sunday’s series finale. Wong is returning from an early-season injury after a difficult start at the plate, recording just two hits in 23 at-bats. The team is optimistic that his time off allowed him to reset and rediscover his offensive rhythm.
