The Red Sox have removed Roman Anthony from their Wild Card roster due to a hand injury, MLB announced Wednesday. Anthony was pulled from Game 1 of the series against the Yankees on Tuesday after the injury occurred during play. Per MLB Trade Rumors, Anthony has multiple new strains in his hand along with a re-aggravation of a previous injury. ESPN reported that Anthony will be replaced on the roster by Mead.
Reporting describes the injury variously as affecting his hand and wrist. Anthony will miss the remainder of the Wild Card Series, ending what multiple outlets indicate is likely his season.
