The Red Sox officially have their starting catcher back.

Prior to Friday’s game the Red Sox announced they have activated catcher Connor Wong from the 10-day injured list. To clear space the club also optioned backup Blake Sabol to Triple-A.

Wong is slated to start at catcher and bat seventh in Friday’s series opener against the Minnesota Twins. Second baseman Kristian Campbell, who was scratched with rib discomfort on Thursday, is not in the lineup.

Wong hasn’t played since April 7, when he suffered a small fracture on his left pinky finger after being struck in the glove by a George Springer swing on a catcher’s interference. Wong was placed on the 10-day injured list the next day but made a faster-than-expected recovery after doctors determined his injury represented something of a best-case scenario.

The catcher began a rehab assignment in Worcester on Sunday and appeared in three games for the WooSox, going 4-for-11 with one double, one home run and three RBI.

In Wong’s absence rookie catcher Carlos Narvaez has gotten the majority of the playing time and has made a strong case that he deserves regular action even with the club’s original starter back in the fold. Entering Friday Narvaez was tied for the MLB lead with plus-seven defensive runs saved, and according to Statcast he ranks first in baseball in blocks above average. He’s also earned rave reviews from the pitching staff and has held his own at the plate, batting .210 with three home runs and 11 runs scored in 23 games.
