Red Sox prepare for roster moves as injured players return

The Red Sox will option two players to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday morning to clear space on the active roster. The team expects to activate left fielder/DH Roman Anthony and shortstop Trevor Story from the 60-day injured list for the series finale against the Yankees. Interim manager Chad Tracy described the roster decisions as a challenge, but noted that having increased depth is a positive development for the team in September. First baseman Willson Contreras acknowledged the difficulty of the impending moves and emphasized the importance of recognizing the contributions of those currently on the roster. The players designated for assignment will be informed of the decisions on Sunday.
