How Does Boston Red Sox Offense Measure Up After First Week?

Another, much more surprising, bright spot to start the season has been backup catcher Connor Wong. After waiting until late July for his first extra-base hit in 2025, Wong has hit the ground running in 2026, already ripping three doubles in just four games. On one hand, when your backup catcher is considered one of two offensive standouts in the first week of the season, you may think that you don’t have a very good offense (which, thus far, the Red Sox do not), but on the other hand, if Wong can get back his 2024 form, it’ll allow Alex Cora to keep Carlos Narvaez, who spent much of the 2025 season playing through an injury, fresh throughout the season.
