Overview

  • The Red Sox called up Anthony on June 9 to fill Wilyer Abreu’s spot after placing the outfielder on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain.
  • Anthony batted fifth in right field and went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI groundout and a fielding error in his first major league game.
  • Boston’s 10–8 defeat in 11 innings at Fenway Park marked the first time Anthony, Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer appeared together in the lineup.
  • Anthony arrived with a .288/.423/.491 slash line, 10 home runs and 29 RBIs in 58 Triple-A games, fueling fan criticism over Boston’s delayed promotion.
  • Manager Alex Cora indicated that Anthony will be a long-term fixture in left field as the club adjusts roles for Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela.
