Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Roman Anthony, 21-year-old Boston Red Sox outfielder, has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist/hand ligament sprain suffered during a check swing against Detroit on May 6, 2026. This marks his second IL stint in his brief MLB career (also missed time in 2025 with oblique strain). Anthony experienced a setback during rehab swings on May 18, feeling soreness that forced the Red Sox to halt batting activity. His return timeline has been pushed deeper into June. Before the injury, Anthony was struggling at the plate with a .229 average, .675 OPS, and just one home run in 30 games, failing to meet high expectations after a promising 2025 rookie season (.292/.396/.463). The Red Sox had bet heavily on his development to offset losing Bregman and Devers, but the expected offensive breakout has not materialized.
