TORONTO — Catcher Connor Wong (fractured pinky) is playing in his second rehab game for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. He’s batting second in the WooSox lineup.
Wong began his rehab assignment Sunday.
“He feels slow with his move behind the plate and his timing was off,” manager Alex Cora said before Boston’s game against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. “So there’s no guarantee he’ll be here with us in Toronto.”
The Red Sox play a three-game series here starting tonight. It sounds as though Wong will be activated from the IL during Boston’s six-game homestand (which starts Friday against the Twins) instead of here Wednesday or Thursday.
