Red Sox Reinstate Potential All-Star Catcher From Paternity List
The Red Sox made multiple roster moves after their series against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Boston on Thursday announced in a press release that it reinstated Connor Wong from the paternity leave list. It also optioned catcher Tyler Heineman and right-handed pitcher Isaiah Campbell to Triple-A Worcester.
Wong was placed on the paternity leave list before the Toronto series and did not play in the three-game series. The 28-year-old was on a hot streak and made a strong case to be on the American League All-Star team along with Jarren Duran.
Campbell had been recalled from Triple-A Worcester this week after he was reinstated from the injured list this month. Boston likely will add a pitcher to the active roster Friday.
Wong returns to Boston on its off day, and the Red Sox will begin a three-game series against the San Diego Padres at Fenway Park.
