Overview

• Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Roman Anthony is progressing day to day but remains far from baseball activity after his Sept. 2 left oblique strain.
• Boston’s offense has dipped since Anthony went down, with 70 runs in 16 games and a 7–9 record over that span, raising questions about lineup depth.
• The Red Sox have six regular-season games left, opening a three-game set in Toronto before finishing at home against Detroit.
• Breslow said pitchers Dustin May, Jordan Hicks and Brennan Bernardino are ramping up and could help before season’s end, though timelines remain uncertain.
• Anthony had delivered standout rookie production before the injury, batting .292 with eight home runs and 32 RBIs in 71 games.
