Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony has been dealing with a minor shoulder issue at Triple-A Worcester.

Fantasy Impact

Anthony is expected to return to the outfield on Wednesday for the first time since April 10. He will likely be called up to the majors by Boston soon.

Roman Anthony (illness) will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday’s Grapefruit League game against the Twins, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Anthony, 20, returns after a week-plus out since March 2—down 10 pounds from illness—facing a steep Opening Day climb, likely headed to Triple-A Worcester; his .344/.463/.519 with a 19.1% walk rate in 164 PA there post-Double-A last August screams near-readiness. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should lock him in; his debut’s close, just not yet.

Roman Anthony (illness) is likely to begin the season at Triple-A Worcester, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

With Wilyer Abreu out early due to a stomach bug, right field beckons—but Anthony’s own illness, shedding 10 pounds, stalls him; he’s back to workouts, though game-ready’s TBD, eyeing a Red Sox regular role later in 2025. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should stash this top prospect; his breakout’s just delayed.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Roman Anthony (illness) should get back to workouts Saturday, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Anthony’s been out since March 2, one of several Red Sox hit by the flu, but he’s turning the corner—still, game action might lag a few days. With Wilyer Abreu (illness) likely starting on the IL, Anthony’s in the right field mix, if he can catch up. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues or dynasty setups should watch; his shot’s there, pending full speed.

Roman Anthony was scratched from the Red Sox lineup on Monday with an illness.

Fantasy Impact

Anthony can be considered as day-to-day. He should have a good chance of returning to the lineup later this week.
