Roman Anthony Sore After Swinging on Monday
Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) is sore after taking some swings on Monday, so he will not swing again until after the off day on Thursday at least, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. It's bad news for the 22-year-old former top outfield prospect as he attempts to return from the 10-day injured list due to a wrist injury. He has been out since early May and currently has no timetable for a return to Boston's starting lineup. Anthony will most likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, too, so he probably is at least another week or two away from rejoining the big-league roster. The former second-rounder in 2022 teased his upside in a 71-game stint with the BoSox last year before ending the season on the IL, and now he's hurt again early in 2026. Despite hitting .229 (25-for-109) in his first 30 games this year with a homer, five RBI, and two steals, Anthony should be stashed in all fantasy baseball leagues for his high-end power/speed upside in Beantown. Until he's ready to return, Masataka Yoshida will continue to see regular at-bats against right-handed pitching. The Japanese native still has zero home runs in 77 at-bats, though, and offers a low fantasy ceiling.
