Boston Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony is listed as day to day after an MRI revealed a sprain in his right wrist with no structural damage. The 21-year-old tweaked the wrist during Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers. He is eligible to return as early as Thursday against the Rays.
Anthony injured his right wrist on a check swing and foul ball in his first at-bat of the Red Sox's 5-4 win over the Tigers on Monday. He flew back to Boston on Tuesday for an MRI and a visit with the team's hand specialist. The imaging showed a sprain but no breaks or structural issues, providing encouragement to the team in Detroit, where the news was shared publicly.
