Summary
The Red Sox are rolling into Texas with momentum after two wins over the Royals, but they’re making a key lineup tweak: 22-year-old Roman Anthony returns to left field for the opener against the Rangers, moving out of the DH spot. With Masataka Yoshida still sidelined, Mickey Gasper steps in at DH — a smart move given Gasper’s versatility and consistency as a fill-in. Anthony’s defense is solid but still developing; he’s not a Gold Glover yet, but he’s not a liability either. Offensively, his numbers have dipped slightly from last year, and his power seems to shine more when he’s DHing — his batting average holds up in the outfield, but his slugging drops. This adjustment is all about balancing experience and opportunity as the team navigates injuries and keeps building toward playoff form.
