Overview
- The Red Sox summoned 21-year-old Roman Anthony from Triple-A Worcester to join the major league roster ahead of their Fenway Park series.
- Anthony dominated in Triple-A with a .290/.421/.595 slash line, 10 home runs and a Triple-A-leading 32 barrels in 57 games.
- Boston has fallen to a 27–31 record, sits 9.5 games behind the division leader and ranks among the league’s worst in ERA and defensive efficiency.
- Team executives are considering trades or demotions involving second baseman Kristian Campbell and outfielders Ceddanne Rafaela or Wilyer Abreu to open a spot for Anthony.
- Heralded as baseball’s top prospect, Anthony’s addition is expected to inject both power at the plate and improved defense into a struggling Red Sox lineup.
