Roman Anthony Leaves Red Sox Game With Right Wrist Discomfort

The Red Sox face fresh uncertainty with their leadoff hitter during a 13-21 start.

Overview

  • Anthony, who exited Monday’s game in Detroit after his first at-bat, was removed with what the team called right wrist discomfort.
  • Beat reporters noted a long visit with trainer Brandon Henry during the plate appearance, and Masataka Yoshida shifted into left field after the change.
  • The club is expected to send Anthony for further evaluation, with a formal update to follow once testing clarifies the severity.
  • The 21-year-old recently missed four games with upper-back tightness and ended last season early with a left oblique injury.
  • He entered the day hitting .231 with a .357 on-base percentage and a .681 OPS over 29 games, a dip that looms larger for a 13-21 team counting on him at the top of the order.
