Overview
- Interim manager Chad Tracy said Sunday that Roman Anthony finished a short rehab stint in Double‑A Portland and will join Triple‑A Worcester to face tougher competition and test his durability.
- Trevor Story and Isiah Kiner‑Falefa are already rehabbing at Worcester and will be re‑evaluated in Boston on Monday with a chance that one or both could join the club in Miami.
- All three players have been on the 60‑day injured list this season: Anthony with a partial tendon tear under his right ring finger, Story recovering from sports hernia surgery, and Kiner‑Falefa with a forearm injury.
- The Red Sox have two open spots on their 40‑man roster and would need to clear at least one more place for activations while also weighing expanded roster flexibility that arrives on September 1.
- Boston is taking a cautious, stepwise approach that prioritizes how the players feel after consecutive games, and a successful return would lengthen the lineup late in a strong Wild Card push.
