Red Sox To Place Roman Anthony On Injured List
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony will be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained ligament in his right ring finger, with utility player Mickey Gasper being recalled in a corresponding move.
- Anthony left Monday’s game with right wrist discomfort and has not played since; the team expects him to return in just over a week as the injury has not worsened.
- Anthony struggled early in the 2026 season with a .229/.354/.321 batting line after a strong debut last year, possibly due to lingering health issues including back soreness.
- Anthony's absence helps alleviate the outfield logjam, allowing regular playing time for Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Masataka Yoshida, who has been performing well despite limited at-bats.
- Mickey Gasper offers versatility with experience in the outfield, catcher, and multiple infield positions, providing valuable depth for the Red Sox bench.
