Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony has been ruled out of the American League Wild Card Series after sustaining hand and wrist injuries during Game 1, manager Chad Tracy confirmed on Wednesday.
Tracy said the damage to Anthony's wrist muscles would keep him sidelined not only for the remainder of the series but for the foreseeable future as well.
A Blow to Boston's Lineup
Anthony's absence removes a key contributor from the Red Sox outfield at a critical point in the postseason, forcing the team to adjust its roster for the remainder of the series.
In his place, infielder Mead has been added to the active roster, giving Tracy an additional option as Boston looks to continue its playoff run without one of its regulars.
What Comes Next
The Red Sox will need to recalibrate their lineup and outfield rotation as the series progresses, with further updates on Anthony's recovery timeline expected as the team assesses the extent of the injury.
The move highlights the toll that postseason play can take on rosters, with Boston now relying on the depth of its bench to make up for the loss of Anthony's bat and glove.
