Roman Anthony Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that the team is preparing to deploy outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) as a leadoff hitter once he returns from injury, per Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe. Anthony has not played since early May due to a partially torn tendon in his finger. However, the 22-year-old began a minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on Tuesday and appears to be on the doorstep of a return to the big leagues. Across 130 plate appearances in 2026 before getting injured, Anthony hit .229/.354/.321 with one home run, five RBI, 12 runs scored, and two stolen bases. He owns a 13.9% walk rate and a .383 OBP across 433 career MLB plate appearances. Ahead of Anthony's impending return to the Red Sox lineup, he projects as a high-upside bat for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire in leagues where he may have been dropped.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on Tuesday, according to Sean McAdam of MassLive.com. It appears that Anthony is finally making progress with his finger injury that has kept him sidelined since early May. He has been rehabbing a partially torn tendon in his finger, but appears ready for game action. Given he hasn't played in months, Anthony will likely require a lengthy rehab assignment. He should return by the end of the month, but will likely require at least a week of rehab games. Fantasy managers should check back for an update on his status over the next week.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) is making significant progress with his hitting program in Fort Myers, Fla., and is closing in on a minor-league rehab assignment, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com. Interim manager Chad Tracy said Anthony won't go on a rehab assignment this weekend, but it could happen next week. The former top outfield prospect last played on May 4, when he suffered a partially torn tendon in the joint that connects to his right ring finger. He improved to the point where he could reinitiate a hitting program a couple of weeks ago, and he's been doing all other baseball drills such as running and fielding. Anthony has hit off the Trajekt machine recently, and "everything's going well so far," Tracy said. If the 22-year-old starts a rehab assignment early next week, he could be back with the BoSox by next weekend. Having Anthony's power/speed threat would be huge for Boston as they attempt to get into the playoffs down the stretch. Although he was hitting just .229 (25-for-109) with one homer before his injury, Anthony is one of the better young power/speed outfield threats in baseball and is absolutely worth stashing now if he's floating around on your league's waiver wire.

According to Tim Healy, Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) is getting closer to a minor-league rehab assignment. Anthony is hitting off a high-tech pitching machine, which is normally the last step before facing live pitching. He has been hitting in the batting cage and seems extremely close to getting back into game action. Anthony has been out since early May due to a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger. Barring any setbacks, Anthony has a chance to return to the Red Sox lineup by late August or early September.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist), who has been out for three months with a partially torn tendon in his right wrist, has moved to taking batting practice in the batting cage, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com. The left-handed hitter started doing tee work last week and has progressed as he tries to make a return before the end of the 2026 regular season. The next steps for Anthony will be on-field batting practice and hitting off the Trajekt machine, which simulates big-league pitchers. If Anthony can get through those steps without a setback, he should be cleared to start a minor-league rehab assignment. "As long as he's feeling good, we can keep moving him along," said interim manager Chad Tracy. It's good progress for the 22-year-old, but he still has some boxes to check, with a potential return to the major-league roster probably not realistic until late August or early September. Fantasy managers must remain patient, but when healthy, Anthony has the skills to be an asset in all fantasy leagues due to his power/speed upside. Anthony is currently rostered in 73% of Yahoo leagues.

Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said on Thursday that outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) has started swinging a bat, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. "Off a tee, short flips, there's some of that action going on. It's mainly up to about 30 swings at this time, and he's doing well. He began swinging yesterday. There's no clear next steps yet," Tracy added. "He just started doing it. It's probably going to remain that way for a little while and see how he's feeling. And then if that continues to go well, then we'll start talking about building out a progression to more stuff. But he at least has a bat in his hand swinging." The former top outfielder prospect has been a bust in 2026, having played in only 30 games due to a torn tendon in his right ring finger. The 22-year-old has been out since early May, and there's no clear timetable for his return. Anthony is still rostered in 72% of Yahoo leagues for his power/speed upside, but it might not be until late August or early September until we see him back with the Red Sox's big-league club.

Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed that outfielder Roman Anthony's (finger) follow-up appointment with Dr. Gary Lourie in Georgia revealed no new information about the finger/hand injury that has kept Anthony on the injured list since May 5, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Anthony will continue to build up strength at the team's spring training complex in Fort Myers, Florida. "Everything's healing, going the way it should, so he'll go down to Florida and continue to do his thing so we can get ramped up quicker," Tracy said. The 22-year-old former top prospect has been out since May 7 due to a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger. Anthony is quickly developing an injury-prone label after he was shut down late last season due to injury. Although there is no clear timetable for Anthony's return, this might be the perfect time to buy low on him in dynasty/keeper leagues. When healthy, Anthony still has one of the best power/speed profiles of any young outfielder in the game, and he'll be a lineup regular for the BoSox whenever he returns to action in the second half. Anthony was hitting .229 (25-for-109) with a homer, five RBI, 12 runs, and two stolen bases before going down earlier this year.

Boston Red Sox president of baseball operations Craig Breslow confirmed on WEEI that outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) visited with hand specialist Dr. Gary Lourie to confirm the outfielder's rehab plan and that the severity of his injury hasn't changed. "Unfortunately, this is just an injury that is taking longer than expected to heal, but by all accounts it sounds like we are on the right track," Breslow said. The 22-year-old former top prospect is on the 60-day injured list, and last played for Boston on May 4 since suffering a partially torn ligament in his right ring finger while swinging. He has yet to resume hitting, which means there still isn't a specific timetable for his return in the second half of the season. And before the injury, Anthony was hitting just .229 (25-for-109) with a homer, five RBI, 12 runs scored, and two stolen bases. It's been extremely disappointing for Anthony, the Red Sox, and his fantasy managers. Given his high-end power/speed upside, Anthony must remain stashed in an IL spot in most fantasy leagues with the hope that he can contribute in the second half sooner rather than later. He's currently rostered in 77% of Yahoo leagues.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (fingers) is set to visit with Dr. Gary Lourie, who is a hand specialist, in the coming week, according to The Boston Globe's Tim Healey. Interim manager Chad Tracy said on Sunday that Anthony's scheduled visit with a hand specialist is "for peace of mind" and to get Anthony to "a spot where he can focus each day on just pounding away at getting that hand healthy." The former top prospect has been out for nine weeks with a partially torn ligament in his right ring finger. He has yet to resume swinging a bat and doesn't have a timetable for a return. The 22-year-old former second-round selection in 2022 is quickly developing an injury-prone label after finishing his rookie season on the injured list last year. Anthony has played in just 30 games in 2026 and has hit .229 (25-for-109) with a homer, five RBI, 12 runs, and two steals in 130 plate appearances. His power/speed upside makes him a hold in all fantasy leagues, but at this point, it seems unlikely that Anthony will be ready to return from the 60-day injured list until August. He's rostered in 79% of Yahoo leagues.

The Boston Red Sox moved outfielder Roman Anthony (finger, wrist) to the 60-day injured list on Sunday, according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Although it has been a disappointing first full season in the big leagues for Anthony in 2026 due to injury, the transaction changes nothing for him in terms of his timeline for a return. The 22-year-old former top outfielder prospect has missed two months due to a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger. We won't have a clear timetable for his return until he resumes significant baseball activities, but at the very least, he won't be back with the BoSox until at least late July. Most likely, his absence will extend into August, so fantasy managers stashing him in an IL spot must remain patient. The former second-rounder in 2022 has as much power/speed upside of any young outfielder in the game, but injuries have defined his time in the majors so far. After his call-up in 2025, Anthony impressed with a .292/.396/.463 slash line, eight homers, 18 doubles, 32 RBI, 48 runs, and four steals in 71 games, but he ended the year on the IL and couldn't help Boston in the postseason. Through just 30 games in 2026, Anthony went 25-for-109 (.229) with a homer and five RBI.
