Summary
Roman Anthony, Boston’s prized young prospect, remains sidelined with a torn ligament in his right ring finger, now 43 days out and showing no signs of rushing back. Despite early attempts to return in late May, pain forced another pause, and he’s stayed off the field since. The Red Sox, already struggling at 14-19 and five and a half games out of playoff contention, can’t afford to risk his long-term health for short-term gains. With Anthony hitting just .229 before the injury and the team’s offense in freefall, his return won’t magically fix their woes. Plus, with a nine-year, $130M contract and a future franchise cornerstone role, the Sox are prioritizing his recovery over immediate impact — especially as playoff odds sink to just 16.4% and trade deadline selling looms.
