Roman Anthony Progresses to "Power Walk" on Treadmill
Roman Anthony (oblique) has graduated from walking on a treadmill to a "power walk," according to Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. Anthony has already been out three-plus weeks with a strained left oblique, and the fact that he has yet to resume baseball activities means he probably isn't going to be available for the wild-card series next week if the Red Sox clinch a wild-card spot in the American League in the final series of the regular season this weekend. Not having the 21-year-old outfielder available would be a serious blow to Boston's playoff hopes as an underdog, as he was hitting a strong .292 (75-for-257) with eight long balls, 32 RBI, 48 runs scored, and four steals in his first 71 games before the injury. Ceddanne Rafaela will remain in center field for the BoSox with Anthony out.
