Boston Red Sox’s top prospect, Roman Anthony, has been sidelined from baseball activities due to right elbow soreness. The 20-year-old outfielder was scratched from Friday’s lineup after being hit by a pitch on Thursday. Manager Alex Cora described the move as precautionary, indicating that Anthony might return after missing the spring training exhibition opener against Northeastern. Trayce Thompson replaced Anthony in the lineup.
Anthony, ranked as the No. 2 prospect in baseball, was slated to lead off and play left field alongside fellow top prospects Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer. In his minor league career, Anthony has posted a .284 batting average with 32 home runs, 141 RBIs, and 38 stolen bases over 245 games. His impressive performance has generated significant excitement among Red Sox fans and the organization.
The Red Sox are hopeful that Anthony’s absence will be brief, allowing him to continue his development and contribute to the team’s future success. As spring training progresses, the organization will monitor his recovery closely to ensure he returns to full strength without risking further injury. Anthony’s health and performance are pivotal as the Red Sox look to integrate their top prospects into the major league roster.
