Craig Breslow updates Roman Anthony's injury status for Red Sox
Summary

Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow provided an injury update on outfielder Roman Anthony on October 5, after a challenging 2026 season. Anthony's playoff run ended early due to a right hand strain he suffered in Game 1 against the Yankees, which aggravated a lingering issue that sidelined him for over 100 games this season. Breslow indicated that while Anthony has undergone several follow-up appointments, surgery is unlikely and that resting is the preferred recovery path. Anthony aims to recover fully ahead of the 2027 season after struggling with bat grip during the postseason.
