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.

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 -- Wong's seen action in nine games at first base, five at DH and four at second base already this season.
