Red Sox's Connor Wong: Collects pair of doubles in loss
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.

Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Ramps up activity
Moreno (adductor) has begun running at 80 percent and is scheduled to catch a bullpen session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Moreno is ramping up toward a potential mid-month return. The catcher has been sidelined since Aug. 5 when he suffered a strained left adductor while running out a single. Arizona is getting by with a combination of Adrian Del Castillo and Jose Herrera behind the dish.
