Red Sox Move Roman Anthony to 60-Day Injured List
The Boston Red Sox moved outfielder Roman Anthony (finger, wrist) to the 60-day injured list on Sunday, according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Although it has been a disappointing first full season in the big leagues for Anthony in 2026 due to injury, the transaction changes nothing for him in terms of his timeline for a return. The 22-year-old former top outfielder prospect has missed two months due to a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger. We won't have a clear timetable for his return until he resumes significant baseball activities, but at the very least, he won't be back with the BoSox until at least late July. Most likely, his absence will extend into August, so fantasy managers stashing him in an IL spot must remain patient. The former second-rounder in 2022 has as much power/speed upside of any young outfielder in the game, but injuries have defined his time in the majors so far. After his call-up in 2025, Anthony impressed with a .292/.396/.463 slash line, eight homers, 18 doubles, 32 RBI, 48 runs, and four steals in 71 games, but he ended the year on the IL and couldn't help Boston in the postseason. Through just 30 games in 2026, Anthony went 25-for-109 (.229) with a homer and five RBI.
