Roman Anthony Starting on Friday
Roman Anthony will get the starting nod in right field on Friday evening when the Red Sox open a series against the New York Yankees. This is significant as the left-handed bat will get the start even with southpaw Ryan Yarbrough taking the bump for the Yankees. So far, through his first taste of the majors, Anthony has been removed from games when facing a left-handed reliever. However, Friday's lineup suggests that the Red Sox could be giving their top prospect a full-time role going forward. Through his first three games with Boston, Anthony has tallied just one hit but brought in three runs. At Triple-A, Anthony was dominant, posting a .288/.423/.491 line with 56:51 K:BB. He is a strong play in DFS batting fifth facing Yarbrough, who enters this game holding a 4.17 ERA.
