Red Sox Young Star Roman Anthony Headed to IL, Regular Season Likely Over

On Wednesday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced Roman Anthony will go on the injured list with a left oblique strain, saying `Yeah, he's going on IL` and noting a 4-6 week recovery.
After a check swing Tuesday, Roman Anthony left the game against the Cleveland Guardians; an MRI confirmed a left oblique injury causing his removal after striking out.
Since his June 9 debut, Roman Anthony helped the Boston Red Sox to a 46-27 record while batting.292 with eight home runs and 32 RBIs, earning American League Rookie of the Month for August.
With 22 games remaining, the club now faces a tough challenge as Roman Anthony's regular season may be over, and Boston Red Sox still await Wilyer Abreu, who is 'not close' to returning.
If he heals quickly, Roman Anthony could be available for the ALDS , but six weeks from injury falls on Oct. 14, possibly delaying his return and affecting Boston Red Sox postseason hopes.
