Roman Anthony injury update as Red Sox lose leadoff hitter vs Yankees

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony exited Game 1 of the American League wild card series in the fifth inning during a 9-0 loss to the New York Yankees after aggravating an issue in his right hand. Manager Chad Tracy explained that Anthony experienced discomfort following a check swing, prompting his removal as the leadoff hitter's status for Game 2 remains uncertain.

Andruw Monasterio replaced Anthony on the field, while the affected right hand is the same one that previously sidelined the 22-year-old for three months of the 2026 season due to a partial tendon tear.
