Roman Anthony Returns To Starting Lineup
4 hours agoBoston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony (elbow) is returning to the starting lineup and is slated to bat second against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday afternoon. The 20-year-old was held out of action on Friday due to a sore elbow. However, seeing him return to the lineup one day after suggests this injury was minor and was held out for precautionary reasons. Anthony is considered the top prospect in the Boston system on MLB Pipeline. Anthony received his first extended look at Double-A last summer and posted a strong .269/.367/.489 line with 15 home runs and 16 stolen bases. He was then promoted to Triple-A, where he posted a strong .344/.463/.519 line with three long balls and five swiped bags in 35 contests. Anthony could contend for a spot on the Opening Day roster if he performs well in spring training.
