The Boston Red Sox suffered a setback during Monday’s game against the Blue Jays as starting catcher Connor Wong was forced to exit in the first inning after sustaining a small fracture in his pinky area. Wong’s injury prompted the team to place him on the injured list, leaving Carlos Narváez to take over the starting catching duties. However, with the need for a backup catcher, the Red Sox are set to call up Blake Sabol from Worcester. Sabol, who is the only other catcher on Boston’s 40-man roster, has shown promise with a .250 batting average and four RBI in six games this season. The 27-year-old has previous MLB experience with the Giants and will be a key addition to the Red Sox lineup in Wong’s absence. In response to the injury, Narváez expressed his willingness to step up and help the team win while Wong is sidelined. The loss of Wong presents a challenge for the Red Sox, but with the support of Narváez and Sabol, the team remains determined to overcome this setback and continue their success on the field.
