Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony has been removed from the team's roster for the American League Wild Card Series after sustaining additional damage to muscles in his right hand and wrist.
The injury occurred during Tuesday's Game 1 loss, according to the team. Anthony said afterward that his hand had not been fully healed heading into the postseason, stating it was never 100 percent before the additional damage was sustained in that game.
His removal from the roster means he will not be available to the Red Sox for the remainder of the wild-card series against their opponent. The move is a significant blow for Boston, which had been relying on Anthony as part of its lineup heading into the postseason.
The Red Sox have not detailed a specific timeline for Anthony's recovery, and it remains unclear whether the injury will affect his availability beyond the current series should Boston advance.
Teams are permitted to make certain roster substitutions during the postseason in cases of injury, and the Red Sox's decision to take Anthony off the roster reflects the severity of the additional damage sustained in Game 1.
