Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Will have normal offseason
Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday that Roman Anthony (oblique) is asymptomatic and will have a normal offseason, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.Anthony suffered a left oblique strain in early September that sidelined him for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs. However, the rookie outfielder is heading into the offseason with a clean bill of health. Anthony slashed .292/.396/.463 with eight homers and four steals over 71 contests in his rookie campaign.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Power walking on treadmill
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Roman Anthony (oblique) has progressed to power walking on the treadmill, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.While it's a modest step forward from his normal walking on a treadmill, it's unclear when Anthony might be ready for baseball activities. A return in time for the American League Wild Card Series -- should the Red Sox qualify -- seems unlikely for Anthony. The rookie outfielder has been shelved for three-plus weeks with a left oblique strain.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Doing non-baseball activities
Roman Anthony (oblique) is walking on a treadmill and riding an exercise bike, MLB.com reports. Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday the rookie is feeling less sore.There hasn't been much news about Anthony since he landed on the injured list Sept. 3, so this update provides some hope he can return before the end of the regular season to help Boston's playoff push. The Red Sox are 5-8 since Anthony was added to the IL, and the team is just 1.5 games ahead of Cleveland for the final wild-card spot in the AL after losing two of three to the Athletics at Fenway Park.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Lands on IL with oblique strain
The Boston Red Sox placed Roman Anthony (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.Earlier Wednesday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora relayed that Anthony would be shut down after an MRI confirmed he sustained a left oblique strain in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians, so the 21-year-old's placement on the IL was merely a formality. Though Anthony is without an official timeline for a return, Cora noted that oblique strains typically entail a 4-to-6-week recovery period, so the expectation is that the young outfielder will be out for the rest of the regular season. Boston will hope to get Anthony back for the playoffs if it should earn its way into the postseason, but the Red Sox may need to advance to the ALDS or ALCS for the rookie to have made a full recovery from the oblique strain and have a shot at contributing. With Anthony on the shelf, Ceddanne Rafaela will likely move back to center field on a full-time basis, and Rob Refsnyder and Nate Eaton could be tasked with filling in at the corner-outfield spot opposite Jarren Duran until Wilyer Abreu (calf) is back from the IL.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Likely done for season
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Roman Anthony (oblique) will be placed on the injured list later Wednesday and is in line for an extended absence, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. "He has an oblique strain," Cora said. "Timetable, we don't know...Usually takes from 4-to-6 weeks."After departing Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians with what the Red Sox termed as left oblique tightness, the standout rookie appears likely to miss the rest of the regular season with an MRI on Wednesday confirming a strain. Whether Anthony is able to return for the postseason will depend on how deep into October the Red Sox are able to advance should they clinch a playoff spot, as well as how quickly the 21-year-old is cleared to resume baseball activities. The loss of Anthony will likely result in Ceddanne Rafaela moving back to center field on a full-time basis, allowing Romy Gonzalez and David Hamilton to receive most of the reps at second base. Before suffering the oblique injury, Anthony had established himself as a franchise building block, slashing .292/.396/.463 with eight home runs, four stolen bases, 48 runs and 32 RBI through his first 303 big-league plate appearances.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Stint on injured list expected
Roman Anthony has a "high probability" of landing on the 10-day injured list after suffering an oblique injury in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians, sources tell Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com.Anthony was sent for an MRI on Wednesday, and though the Boston Red Sox are still waiting for the results, the team seems resigned to putting the rookie outfielder on the IL. Anthony will be eligible for activation Sept. 13, but his chances of being ready by that date will depend on the severity of the injury. Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela will handle two outfield spots while Anthony is out, with Rob Refsnyder and Masataka Yoshida in the mix for the third spot, at least until Anthony and/or Wilyer Abreu (calf) return. Nick Sogard is expected to be called up from Triple-A Worcester to take Anthony's spot on the active roster, though Kristian Campbell could eventually get another look in the majors.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: MRI on tap
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Roman Anthony (oblique) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.Anthony was spotted grabbing at his lower back on a swinging strike in the bottom of the fourth inning of Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians, and he didn't leave the dugout to take the field for the top of the fifth. The Red Sox later relayed that Anthony's departure was the result of left oblique tightness, an injury that could result in him making a trip to the injured list. The team will wait for the results of his MRI to come in before determining Anthony's next steps, but at the very least, expect the star rookie to be out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.
