CLEVELAND — Red Sox catcher Connor Wong (fractured pinky) began a rehab assignment for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

He’s batting second in the WooSox lineup. The plan is for him to play seven innings, manager Alex Cora.

Cora said the Red Sox don’t know yet how many rehab games Wong will need before he’s ready to be activated from the IL. But it’s likely he’ll need more than one.

“We’ll play it day by day and we don’t have to rush him,” Cora said Sunday at Progressive Field before Boston’s series finale against the Guardians.

CLEVELAND — First baseman Triston Casas and right fielder Wilyer Abreu are not in the Red Sox lineup Sunday.

Right-handed hitters Romy Gonzalez and Rob Refsnyder will play instead with another left-handed starter on the mound for Cleveland.

The Red Sox and Guardians will play the rubber game of their three-game series Sunday at 1:40 p.m. here at Progressive Field after splitting a doubleheader Saturday. Cleveland won the first game, 5-4.
