Overview
- Interim manager Chad Tracy said none of the three hitters were activated for the San Francisco series and that their availability will depend on how they feel after more rehab work and game reps.
- Roman Anthony is completing his rehab at Double‑A Portland while Trevor Story and Isiah Kiner‑Falefa are rehabbing at Triple‑A Worcester, and all three remain on the 60‑day injured list.
- Medical staff are prioritizing consecutive at‑bats and defensive work over raw game stats to verify readiness after Anthony’s finger tear, Story’s sports‑hernia surgery and Kiner‑Falefa’s forearm issue.
- Boston has two open spots on its 40‑man roster and would need to clear additional space before adding multiple players back, a factor that could delay simultaneous activations.
- The club is balancing a late‑season playoff push with long‑term health needs, and local reporting says the players could rejoin the big club later in the coming homestand if rehabs and roster moves align.
