Roman Anthony Leaves ALWCS Game 1 Due To Hand Soreness
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Yankees dominated the Red Sox 9-0 in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series, putting Boston in a must-win position for Game 2.
- Red Sox leadoff hitter Roman Anthony exited early due to discomfort in his right hand, which flared during checked swings, raising doubts about his availability for Game 2.
- Anthony has a history of right hand injuries this season, including a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger that limited him to 55 games before returning in late August.
- Manager Chad Tracy indicated uncertainty about Anthony's status for the next game, complicating Boston's lineup decisions given the must-win nature of the series and a limited 25-man roster.
- The Red Sox may consider removing Anthony from the postseason roster for an injury replacement, which would sideline him until at least the ALCS but could improve their chances of advancing past the first round.
