Scouting Report: Anthony Bemboom
Chicago Cubs | C
Overall
Summary
Anthony Bemboom is a Red Sox outfielder who suffered a right wrist sprain on May 4, 2026, during an at-bat against the Detroit Tigers. He was placed on the 10-day IL after initial hopes of avoiding the injured list. The injury has proven more serious than initially expected, with Anthony experiencing soreness during rehab swings on May 18, forcing the team to halt batting activity. He received a cortisone shot and was removed from his splint, but grip strength remains a concern. His return timeline has been pushed deeper into June. This marks his second IL stint in his brief big-league career, raising concerns about his durability and injury susceptibility, particularly given his aggressive swing mechanics (75.6 mph swing speed in 92nd percentile).
Strengths
- Removed from splint and cleared for baseball activities
