The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey reports that Roman Anthony (wrist) will swing a bat on Monday.

Anthony has been sidelined since May 4th, and the Red Sox have focused on building strength in his hand before allowing him to grip a bat. Now, he will start with hitting flips before hitting off a machine. If that goes well, he could face live pitching sometime later this week and perhaps only need a short rehab stint before he's back in Boston before the end of May. The Red Sox offense could really use him.
