Wong has been out since early April recovering from a fractured left finger. He figures to be ready to return to stabilize Boston’s catching mix at some point next week.

Wong hit the injured list back on April 8 with a fractured finger and is on track to return to Boston’s catching mix at some point in early May.

Cora noted that Wong hasn’t done much catching yet, but he has been hitting off of a tee and progressing well in his recovery. It sounds like he shouldn’t require an extended minor league rehab assignment, so fantasy managers should have Wong back in their lineups at some point in early May.

Wong was hurt when he was clipped by a George Springer swing last night, resulting in catcher’s interference. The 28-year-old was off to an ice-cold start offensively, having gone 2-for-23 with no extra-base hits. The Red Sox will go with Carlos Narvaez and Blake Sabol behind the plate in his absence. Expect Narvaez to get the bulk of the time, making him the better pickup in AL-only leagues.
