The Aporia · Roman Anthony leaves Game 1 against Yankees in possible injury scare: ‘Not a good sign’

Roman Anthony, a key player for the Red Sox, left Game 1 against the Yankees in a wild-card series due to an apparent injury during the sixth inning. He was replaced by pinch hitter Andruw Monasterio and had been seen flexing his right wrist earlier. Former Red Sox infielder Lou Merloni noted this as "not a good sign," referencing Anthony's previous discomfort with his hand in Sunday’s game against the Cubs. The 22-year-old outfielder, who was acquired on a $130 million contract, had already missed significant time due to an injury initially reported as a wrist issue but later identified as involving his ring finger.

Story summary

In the Game 1 of the wild-card series between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, leadoff hitter Roman Anthony left the game in the top of the sixth inning after striking out twice and appearing to experience discomfort in his right hand. The young player had previously missed 107 games earlier this season due to a hand injury that was initially reported as a wrist issue but later identified as affecting his ring finger. During Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cubs, Anthony showed signs of distress in his hand during a check swing. On Tuesday night, after being substituted for pinch hitter Andruw Monasterio, Anthony was visibly flexing his right wrist in the dugout before leaving the game. The Red Sox are uncertain about Anthony’s availability for Wednesday's decisive Game 2 due to the severity of this latest injury concern.
