Roman Anthony Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony appears to have suffered a setback during his rehab process. Anthony reportedly felt discomfort while hitting off a tee on Thursday. As a result, Anthony has been shut down from swinging the bat for now. This is the second time that Anthony has suffered a setback while rehabbing his finger injury. The hope was that Anthony would be able to return by early June. This setback might push that timetable back further, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see what the team decides to do. There should be another update on Anthony in the coming days.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) took 12 to 15 dry swings on Tuesday and felt much better, so the team is encouraged that he has turned a corner in his recovery, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Anthony will do the same thing on Wednesday and increase the volume on a daily basis. The 22-year-old remains on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained ligament on the base of his right finger, but now that he is taking swings, he could be on the verge of being cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. In a best-case scenario, though, Anthony probably isn't a realistic candidate to rejoin the major-league roster until mid-June. The former second-round pick and top outfield prospect is quickly developing a reputation for being injury-prone, but his high-end power/speed upside should keep him stashed in all fantasy baseball leagues despite his slow recovery. Before going on the IL, Anthony was hitting just .229 (25-for-109) with a homer, five RBI, 12 runs scored, and two stolen bases. Masataka Yoshida has benefited from extra playing time in Anthony's absence, but it hasn't really translated to fantasy relevance.

Boston Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said on WEEI on Friday that outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) is dealing with a sprain in a ligament on the base of his right ring finger, according to Rob Bradford. The Red Sox placed Anthony on the 10-day injured list with what was previously being called a right-wrist spain, but the injury has now been clarified as a finger sprain. The 22-year-old former top outfield prospect resumed swinging a bat on Monday but felt more soreness, which prompted the Red Sox to shut him down from baseball activities for the time being. It's unclear exactly when Anthony will resume baseball activities or when he might be cleared to come off the IL, but fantasy managers should be ruling out a return before June. Despite his disappointing start to his first full year in the big leagues, Anthony should remain stashed in all fantasy baseball leagues. The left-handed-hitting Masataka Yoshida should continue to benefit from more playing time, but he's hitting just .258 (23-for-89) on the year with no home runs, six RBI, and eight runs scored in his 33 games played.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) is sore after taking some swings on Monday, so he will not swing again until after the off day on Thursday at least, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. It's bad news for the 22-year-old former top outfield prospect as he attempts to return from the 10-day injured list due to a wrist injury. He has been out since early May and currently has no timetable for a return to Boston's starting lineup. Anthony will most likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, too, so he probably is at least another week or two away from rejoining the big-league roster. The former second-rounder in 2022 teased his upside in a 71-game stint with the BoSox last year before ending the season on the IL, and now he's hurt again early in 2026. Despite hitting .229 (25-for-109) in his first 30 games this year with a homer, five RBI, and two steals, Anthony should be stashed in all fantasy baseball leagues for his high-end power/speed upside in Beantown. Until he's ready to return, Masataka Yoshida will continue to see regular at-bats against right-handed pitching. The Japanese native still has zero home runs in 77 at-bats, though, and offers a low fantasy ceiling.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) is scheduled to begin swinging the bat by hitting flips on Monday, according to Jen McCaffrey. This is the first time that Anthony has swung the bat since landing on the 10-day Injured List earlier this month. The expectation is that he'll need to face live pitching before he's cleared to return to the Red Sox roster. The team should give a better timetable on his return as he makes progress. The hope is that Anthony can return before the end of May, but fantasy managers should check back later in the week for another update on his status.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) said he's "in a good spot" after getting the brace/splint removed from his injured wrist and playing catch on Friday, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. However, Anthony's return from the 10-day injured list remains to be determined. It's the first time that Anthony has done any baseball activities since the Red Sox put him on the IL last week with a right-wrist sprain. It's good news for the 22-year-old former top prospect, but he could still have a ways to go before he's cleared to resume playing in games, and he'll almost certainly require a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the major-league roster. Anthony debuted in 2025 to much fanfare and looked the part of a top prospect, hitting .292 (75-for-257) with eight homers, 32 RBI, and four steals in 71 games before ending his season on the IL with an injury. He's now injured again and had gone 25-for-109 (.229) with a homer and five RBI in 30 contests this year before injuring his wrist. It's been a disappointing start to 2026 for Anthony, but he's a top-tier power/speed prospect and should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues. Masataka Yoshida will continue to benefit from more playing time in Beantown with Anthony out.

The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey reports that Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) is progressing, but he has not resumed baseball activities. His next test will be to see if he has full grip strength to grip a bat. Anthony isn't anywhere close to coming off the 10-day injured list after suffering a sprained right wrist. Boston will most likely take it very slow with the 21-year-old former top prospect, so there's a chance he won't be ready by the end of May. Masataka Yoshida has benefited from Anthony's injury and continues to see consistent playing time for the BoSox. He's hitting .279 (19-for-68), but it has come with just five RBI and no home runs in 25 games played. Fantasy managers have to be worried that Anthony's 2026 campaign is quickly turning into a lost season, and he's also quickly developing a reputation for being injury-prone after his rookie campaign was also cut short due to injury in 2025. Despite the concerns, the former second-rounder needs to be stashed in all fantasy formats for his high-end power/speed upside.

The Boston Red Sox plan to put outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) on the 10-day injured list before Thursday's series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com. Mickey Gasper will come up from the minors in a corresponding move. Anthony sprained his right wrist in Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers and will require more time to heal. The Red Sox were hoping the outfield prospect would be able to return this weekend against the Rays, but he's just not ready. In the short term, Masataka Yoshida should continue to benefit from regular playing time in the designated hitter spot for Boston against right-handed pitchers. Yoshida is a great source of average -- he's hitting over .300 in limited action so far this year -- but he won't provide much pop to your lineup. It's been a disappointing start to Anthony's first full season in the majors, but fantasy managers should be stashing him everywhere for his high-end power/speed upside. Since debuting for the BoSox late in 2025, the 21-year-old former second-rounder has hit .273/.383/.421 with an .804 OPS, nine homers, 37 RBI, 60 runs, and six steals in 433 plate appearances.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) continues to sit out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener at Fenway Park against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays, per MLB.com. It will be Anthony's third straight missed game after spraining his right wrist on a swing during Monday's contest against the Detroit Tigers. The Red Sox are optimistic that Anthony won't have to miss much more time, but if he cannot return to action this weekend against Tampa, he could be placed on the 10-day injured list. Jarren Duran is starting in left field again and will bat leadoff for the BoSox, with Masataka Yoshida serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth against Rays right-hander Griffin Jax. An extended absence for Anthony will continue to benefit the left-handed-hitting Yoshida, who is hitting .310 (18-for-58) on the year, but with zero home runs. Anthony looked like the real deal as a top prospect in baseball during his MLB debut in 2025 before ending the year on the injured list, but he's struggled so far in 2026, slashing .229/.354/.321 with a .675 OPS, only one homer, five RBI, 12 runs, and two steals in 109 at-bats. Fantasy managers need to be patient and hope his wrist injury doesn't lead to an IL stint.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) remains sidelined for Wednesday's series finale in Detroit against the Tigers, according to MLB.com. Jarren Duran is starting in left field for the BoSox and will hit leadoff against Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty. Anthony injured his right wrist in Monday's game against the Tigers and returned to Boston the next day to be evaluated. The 21-year-old outfield prospect was diagnosed with a sprained right wrist and is considered day-to-day after undergoing an MRI exam, but he won't be available to return for the series finale in Motown on Wednesday. Although he got encouraging news, don't rule out an injured-list stint for Anthony if he cannot return for the upcoming four-game series in Boston against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays. Anthony is a high-upside power/speed outfielder, but injuries have slowed him down so far after he debuted with the team in 2025. Through 30 games this year, Anthony has been a disappointment with a .229/.354/.321 slash line, .675 OPS, one homer, five RBI, 12 runs scored, and two stolen bases. Check back on Thursday to see if he can return to the starting nine.
