Roman Anthony Removed From Roster with New Hand Injury as Red Sox Eliminated, Might Need Surgery
Major League Baseball approved the swap after imaging showed Roman Anthony had additional damage in his right hand and wrist.
- On Wednesday, the Boston Red Sox replaced outfielder Roman Anthony on their Wild Card Series roster with infielder Curtis Mead following Anthony's right hand injury sustained during Tuesday's Game 1 loss to the New York Yankees.
- Manager Chad Tracy confirmed imaging revealed "additional damage to some muscles" in Anthony's right wrist after the outfielder felt discomfort on checked swings. Anthony had previously missed 101 games this season with an earlier hand injury.
- Boston acquired Mead from the Washington Nationals in July, though the 25-year-old infielder has not appeared in a major league game since sustaining a broken left wrist on July 27. He recently completed live batting practice in Florida.
- New York defeated Boston in two games, ending the Red Sox's season with a 9-2 loss on Wednesday; because the roster change occurred during the Wild Card round, Anthony remains ineligible for the AL Division Series.
- Anthony could potentially play if Boston advanced to the American League Championship Series, though Manager Tracy remains uncertain whether the 22-year-old will require surgery for his latest hand injury.
