Getting night off Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Clubs 11th homer Wong went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers.

Impact He launched a Jose Urena slider over the Green Monster in the third inning to give the Red Sox a 6-0 lead. Wong has cooled down a bit in August, slashing .289/.304/.422 through 10 games with a 37.0 percent strikeout rate, but the 28-year-old backstop has already put together a career-best campaign with 11 homers and 43 RBI through 91 contests. With Danny Jansen and Mickey Gasper now on the roster, it wouldn't a surprise if manager Alex Cora tries to find a bit more rest for Wong down the stretch, even if it's just at a less demanding defensive position -- he's seen action in nine games at first base, five at DH and four at second base already this season.

Fuels offense in win Wong went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and one RBI in Friday's 11-6 victory over the Rangers.

Impact The Boston backstop posted his third four-hit game of the season with this effort, knocking four singles. After batting just .211 (16-for-76) in July, this performance was a welcome sight for Wong since he may have to compete for playing time with the recently acquired Danny Jansen. Overall, Wong is now slashing .304/.366/.450 with 10 homers, 39 runs scored and 37 RBI across 320 plate appearances this season.

Goes deep Sunday Wong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

Impact Wong was on the latter end of back-to-back solo home runs by he and Rob Refsnyder for the team's only two runs of the evening. Wong's home run set a new season-best for him with 10, and he needs two more RBI to surpass the 36 he had last year. The 28-year-old is having a productive year despite not having an everyday role, slashing .297/.362/.446 with 20 extra-base hits, 35 RBI, 35 runs, five steals and a 20:65 BB:K in 307 plate appearances. Wong will have a new running mate behind the dish for the rest of the season after the Red Sox traded for Danny Jansen from the Blue Jays and designated Reese McGuire for assignment.
