Red Sox get ‘good news’ on Roman Anthony’s wrist, but he’s day-to-day, not with team
The Red Sox received good news on the status of Roman Anthony on Tuesday after he was seen by a hand specialist in Boston.
DETROIT — The Red Sox received good news on the status of Roman Anthony on Tuesday. Anthony’s trip back to Boston to see a hand specialist revealed that the outfielder has nothing more than a wrist sprain, interim manager Chad Tracy said. Anthony is day-to-day and at this point, not being placed on the injured list.
“As of right now, it looks like just a wrist sprain,” Tracy said at Comerica Park. “Outside of that, no update other than to say, right now, day-to-day. There’s nothing imminent as far as an IL (stint), but day-to-day.
We’ll assess him over the next couple of days to see how he’s feeling. Anthony left Monday’s win in the second inning after feeling pain on the top of his right hand when he fouled off a pitch in his first at-bat . X-rays in Detroit were negative but the Red Sox still wanted him to pay their specialist a visit to rule out a worse injury.
“We don’t see a break. We don’t see anything structural right now,” Tracy said. “There are still steps to take to make sure that he feels good and healthy.
