Anthony (finger) will visit hand specialist Dr. Gary Lourie in Florida during the upcoming week, Chad Finn of The Boston Globe reports.
Anthony is headed to Boston's facility in Fort Myers to continue his injury rehabilitation, and while he's in Florida, he'll book a visit with the Atlanta-based Dr. Lourie. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Sunday that the visit to the hand doctor and Anthony's time in Florida are "for peace of mind" and to get the young outfielder to "a spot where he can focus each day on just pounding away at getting that hand healthy." Anthony has yet to resume a hitting program nine weeks after suffering a partially torn ligament in his right ring finger while taking a swing, and he remains without a clear timetable for a return from the 60-day injured list.
