Red Sox's Connor Wong Heads to IL with Fractured Finger

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong is set to be placed on the injured list after suffering a small fracture in his left pinky finger during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The injury occurred when he was struck by George Springer's bat, resulting in catcher’s interference. Wong initially remained in the game but was replaced after his hand swelled and became numb. He has struggled at the plate this season, hitting just .087 before the injury. In Wong's absence, Carlos Narváez is expected to take over as the starting catcher, while Blake Sabol will likely be promoted from Triple-A as a backup. The team has not provided a timeline for Wong's return and is evaluating their options for additional catching depth.
