Red Sox Send Roman Anthony for Hand Evaluation After Negative X-Rays

The specialist visit will guide the Red Sox on his short-term availability.

Overview

  • Roman Anthony left with right wrist and hand pain after a first-inning check swing, briefly stayed in, then gave way in left field to Masataka Yoshida.
  • Interim manager Chad Tracy said X-rays were negative and the team is sending Anthony to Boston to see the club’s hand specialist for further evaluation.
  • Anthony said the pain was on the top of his hand and that he had not felt hand pain like this before.
  • No diagnosis or return timeline has been announced, and the team has not made a roster move.
  • The 21-year-old is in his second MLB season and hitting .229 with a .675 OPS after recently missing time for upper-back soreness and ending last year early with a Grade 2 oblique strain.
