Red Sox Prospect Anthony Returns After Foot Injury

Boston Red Sox top prospect Roman Anthony is set to return to the Triple-A Worcester lineup after missing several games due to a foot injury sustained last Friday, with X-rays confirming no fracture and swelling now reduced. Anthony had just resumed outfield play following a period as designated hitter because of minor shoulder inflammation. Despite these health setbacks, he has been producing standout offensive numbers, hitting .313 with a 1.039 OPS, five home runs, and a 61.7% hard-hit rate—metrics that compare favorably to MLB star Aaron Judge. The Red Sox's rebuilt farm system is showing promise, with Anthony and fellow prospect Marcelo Mayer excelling in Triple-A. Anthony remains a central part of Boston's minor league core and is expected to stay with Worcester for the time being, as there is no imminent major league promotion. The team is optimistic about his continued health and performance.
