Red Sox add Curtis Mead to Wild Card roster for Game 2 vs. Yankees

Curtis Mead is back on the Red Sox roster for Game 2 of the Wild Card series against the Yankees. He replaces Roman Anthony, who left Game 1 due to right-hand discomfort after a previous injury that kept him out for almost four months. Mead, who has not played since July due to a wrist fracture, previously posted strong season numbers with 17 home runs and 48 RBIs. His return comes as the Red Sox look to recover from a loss in Game 1 of the series. Mead is available off the bench and could pinch hit, with manager Chad Tracy indicating he may play an impact role.
