Wong isn't in Boston's lineup for Saturday's game versus the Yankees, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Wong will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-6 with two walks through the first two games of the series. Danny Jansen will catch instead for Brayan Bello while batting eighth.

Wong went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Baltimore. Wong hit safely for a fourth consecutive game and is 7-for-17 with five extra-base hits during the streak. He's experienced a production drop over July and August, but Wong's .287/.338/.439 line out of the catcher's slot still plays for fantasy managers.

Wong went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's loss to the White Sox. Wong took Chris Flexen deep in the second inning for this 13th home run of the season before adding a double and a single to record his first three-hit game since Aug. 2. Wong has cooled off considerably after a hot start to the season, but he is still enjoying a career year, batting .286 with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, 51 runs scored and six stolen bases in 110 games.

Wong is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets. Wong had started each of the last four games, although one of those starts came at second base. It will be Danny Jansen doing the catching for the Red Sox on Tuesday.
-
Wong will start at second base and bat sixth Saturday against the Tigers, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. As Smith notes, Wong has played 21 innings at second base in his major-league career, but this will be his first career start at the position. Wong homered and doubled in Friday's win over Detroit, and overall he's slashing .285/.339/.432 with 12 homers in 401 plate appearances this season. He could end up playing more at second base than Nick Sogard in the absence of David Hamilton (finger).
