Homers in return Wong started at catcher and went 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's spring game against Minnesota.

Impact Wong returned to Boston's lineup after coming down with an illness last Wednesday. He made an immediate impact with a run-producing sacrifice fly in the first inning then a solo home run to lead off the fourth. The home run was his second of the spring. He's had just 15 at-bats in Grapefruit League action but is expected to be ready for the regular season.

Making spring debut Saturday Wong (shoulder) is in the lineup for Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Impact A sore shoulder slowed Wong at the start of camp, but he is now ready to make his spring debut.

Impact Wong has been behind schedule due to shoulder soreness, but he will face live pitching Thursday and Friday and, if that goes well, will be cleared to play in games.

Bulked up this winter Wong appeared to be noticeably stronger at January's Fan Fest, Jenn McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wong jokingly said he spent the winter "eating a lot," in an effort to be more durable behind the plate. The strong frame might also help him sustain through the regular season with a bat in his hand. Wong owned an .856 OPS through the end of June then dropped to .671 the rest of the way. Wong is expected to serve as Boston's No. 1 catcher and won't have to look over his shoulder at Kyle Teel, the prospect who was traded to the White Sox in the Garrett Crochet swap.
