The Boston Red Sox could get star hitter Roman Anthony back in the lineup soon.

Anthony is on the injured list after suffering a wrist sprain on a swing when Boston was playing the Detroit Tigers last week.

Since suffering the injury, Anthony hasn’t swung a bat, as the focus is on his strength and being able to grip. However, the Red Sox’s interim manager, Chad Tracy, said the star hitter is getting better.

“Roman’s improving,” Tracy said, via MassLive. “Just small, incremental improvements and we’ll just keep going until we get to the point where we feel like we’re in a good spot.”

Although Tracy believes Anthony is getting better, he isn’t sure if he will travel with the team to Atlanta on Friday and play on the road trip.

“It’s hard to say because it’s something that if it improves quickly, he hasn’t been out that long and maybe he would feel comfortable with that,” Tracy added. “The best answer is that we’ve just got to see when this grip strength gets there.”
