Roman Anthony Likely To Start At Triple-A
16 seconds agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu's (illness) absence this spring could open up a spot in the outfield on the Opening Day roster, but The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey writes that it remains likely that top prospect Roman Anthony will begin the year at Triple-A Worcester. Anthony missed about a week of Grapefruit League games and lost around 10 pounds with a similar virus to the one Abreu is dealing with. Journeyman Trayce Thompson has received a lot of praise from manager Alex Cora and leads all hitters in MLB with a 1.794 OPS in spring training. Six of his nine hits have cleared the fences in Florida, so it's looking like Thompson may make the Opening Day roster because of hot spring. Anthony, the No. 2 prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline, will make his debut in the majors at some point in 2025, though, and is worth stashing in most fantasy leagues for his upside.
