The Red Sox need Roman Anthony vs. the Yankees, but a nagging hand injury has likely ended his season
- The Boston Red Sox ruled outfielder Roman Anthony out for the remainder of the Wild Card series against the New York Yankees after he exited Tuesday's Game 1 loss at Yankee Stadium with a re-aggravated hand injury.
- Anthony missed 101 games this season after tearing a ligament in his right ring finger on May 4, an injury initially misdiagnosed as minor that cost him nearly four months before his late August return.
- Red Sox manager Chad Tracy confirmed that further imaging revealed new muscle strains in Anthony's wrist, prompting the team to remove him from the Wild Card roster on Wednesday and replace him with Curtis Mead.
- Facing elimination in Wednesday's Game 2, the Red Sox must overcome the loss of their leadoff hitter, with Tracy saying Anthony remains mentally affected by recurring hardships throughout the 2026 season.
- Anthony is not expected to return for the ALDS if Boston advances, leaving the team without a key contributor as it attempts to rally against New York's pitching staff in the coming rounds.
