Wong was terrible in 67 video games for Seattle earlier within the yr (.468 OPS, barely larger than that of Austin Barnes).

He reached base in eight of these 14 plate appearances (two doubles, one homer, one stroll, 4 singles) and struck out solely as soon as. He offers them a lefty infielder that might get begins in opposition to righties so Amed Rosario and Enrique Hernandez don’t should, and if they will recapture his 2022 numbers (.845 OPS in opposition to righties), it might assist down the stretch.
