Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony took a significant step in his recovery on August 5, participating in overhand batting practice for the first time since his wrist injury on May 4. Interim manager Chad Tracy noted that Anthony previously managed tee and flips well before advancing to this stage. Despite an earlier struggle this season with a.675 OPS and only one home run in 30 games, Anthony is regarded as a top young hitter, and his return could bolster the Red Sox as they pursue playoff positioning. The team hopes to monitor his progress and return him to the lineup by October.
