Roman Anthony Scratched With Sore Elbow
3 mins agoThe Boston Herald's Gabrielle Starr reports that Boston Red Sox outfielder prospect Roman Anthony (elbow) was scratched from the team's exhibition game on Friday versus Northwestern University after he was hit by a pitch in his right elbow on Thursday. Anthony is a bit sore and will sit out as a precaution early in spring training. The 20-year-old might be held out for a few days, but this doesn't appear to be anything serious and shouldn't hurt his chances of trying to win an Opening Day roster spot as outfield depth for the BoSox. Anthony is MLB Pipeline's No. 2 overall prospect this year, behind only the Dodgers' Roki Sasaki. Despite the fact that he could open the 2025 season at Triple-A Worcester, RotoBaller has Anthony ranked as the No. 76 fantasy outfielder. He won't turn 21 until May, but Anthony should make his MLB debut early this year if he begins in the minors.
