"According to the Cleveland Clinic, a carpal boss is a benign "bony overgrowth or lump" found on the back of one's hand or wrist. The condition doesn't always cause pain, but the fact that Wong had his carpal boss removed suggests it was causing him at least some degree of discomfort. Most people return to "typical activity" within two to six weeks following a carpal boss excision."
"After significantly outperforming his expected stats (en route to a .280/.333/.425 slash line) last season, Wong saw his luck take a sharp turn for the worse. Through 63 games in 2025, he hit below .200 with zero home runs. The 42-point gap between his wOBA and xwOBA is a good sign for Wong going forward, but that said, even his xwOBA would have ranked him among the bottom 3% of hitters in the sport if he had enough plate appearances"
Connor Wong underwent a successful right hand carpal boss excision performed by Dr. Matthew Leibman; no recovery timeline has been announced. A carpal boss is a benign bony overgrowth on the back of the hand or wrist that does not always cause pain. Most people return to typical activity within two to six weeks after excision, though the timeline can be longer for professional athletes. Wong previously spent four weeks on the injured list after fracturing his left pinky. Through 63 games in 2025, Wong hit below .200 with zero home runs; a 42-point gap between his wOBA and xwOBA indicates positive underlying expected metrics.
