Roman Anthony's rare finger injury sidelines Red Sox outfielder

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony has missed six weeks due to a rare injury affecting his throwing hand. Initially diagnosed with a right wrist injury, he now has a torn ligament in his ring finger, a condition deemed unprecedented by medical professionals. Dr. Mark Cohen noted that recovery timelines for such an injury can be 8-12 weeks, but the lack of similar cases makes prognosis difficult. The Red Sox insist Anthony is on track for recovery despite setbacks in his rehabilitation.
