Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Continuing rehab in Florida
Interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed Thursday that Roman Anthony's (finger) recent follow-up appointment with Dr. Gary Lourie revealed no new information about his injury, and the outfielder will continue to rehab at the Boston Red Sox's complex in Florida through at least the All-Star break, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.Anthony is still trying to get over the hump in his recovery from the partially torn tendon in his right ring finger that has kept him on the shelf since May 7. Though Tracy noted that Anthony's finger is healing as expected, the 23-year-old has struggled to regain full strength in his hand, which has thus far prevented him from starting a hitting progression. Until Anthony reaches that step in the recovery process, the Red Sox won't be able to map out a minor-league rehab assignment for him. Though Anthony remains without an official timeline to return from the 60-day injured list, fantasy managers can safely rule him out through the rest of July.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Slated to see hand specialist
Roman 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. Boston 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.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Boston Red Sox transferred Roman Anthony (finger/wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.The 22-year-old has already been shelved nearly two months due to a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. Interim manager Chad Tracy said Wednesday that Anthony hasn't made significant progress in his recovery recently, so the outfielder is likely to be out through at least the All-Star break.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Still not ready to hit
Interim manager Chad Tracy said Wednesday that Roman Anthony (finger/wrist) hasn't made any substantive progress in his recovery back in Boston since the Boston Red Sox began their road trip last weekend, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.Though a recent MRI on a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger showed healing, Anthony is still experiencing some discomfort that has prevented him from initiating a hitting progression. He'll simply have to wait until the pain subsides before he can make any meaningful strides in his recovery, leaving Anthony without a definitive timeline for a return. The young outfielder has been on the shelf since May 7.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Continues to feel pain in hand
Roman Anthony continues to experience pain in his injured right hand when swinging, though he still believes he is progressing in his recovery, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.Anthony has been out of action since early May due to a sprained ligament at the base of his right ring finger. He's resumed swinging a bat and then been shut down on multiple occasions, as he hasn't yet been able to shed the discomfort caused by the injury. Anthony explained Saturday, "[it's] progressing a lot slower than I had imagined in the beginning of this but definitely progressing, which is the biggest thing. It's just pain in my hand. That's what it was until it's not that, I'll be here. But as soon as it feels like it starts to get a whole lot better, I'm sure we'll have a better idea of where we're at and how it's going to go from there." The star slugger isn't expected to be ready to return to action until at least early July, and he'll likely need to be able to swing at full capacity without pain before the Boston Red Sox feel comfortable activating him.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Still not swinging
Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Monday that Roman Anthony (finger) remains shut down from swinging a bat, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.Anthony landed on the injured list May 7 due to what the team initially labeled as a right wrist sprain before later reclassifying the injury as a sprained ligament on the base of his right ring finger. The 22-year-old outfielder had made enough progress to resume taking dry swings in late May before being shut down when he experienced renewed soreness while trying to hit off a tee. He's remained in a holding pattern in his recovery ever since, making it increasingly likely that he'll be shelved through at least the end of the month. Anthony's ongoing absence should continue to open up a regular spot in the lineup for Masataka Yoshida when the Red Sox face right-handed pitching.
