Well, this is bad…

During the opening game of the American League Wild Card Series, Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony exited prematurely due to ongoing trouble with his previously injured hand. Following a pair of awkward check-swing strikeouts against pitcher Cam Schlittler, reserve teammate Andruw Monasterio took his place in the sixth frame.

Anthony had struggled to remain healthy for the duration of the campaign, plagued by a persistent hand ailment that resurfaced during his final regular-season plate appearance. The franchise has yet to provide an official update regarding the severity of his latest setback.
