As the Boston Red Sox enter what could be a momentum-swinging four-game series this weekend with the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays, we've seen a number of positive injury developments.
First and foremost, Boston remained optimistic on Wednesday that star outfielder Roman Anthony would be able to avoid a stint on the injured list. Anthony missed the final two games of the Red Sox's series with the Detroit Tigers after injuring his right wrist on a swing during an at-bat in the first inning of Monday's game. He then flew back to Boston to meet with a specialist.
âHe feels a little better today, which is good. Nothing new to report,â interim manager Chad Tracy said on Wednesday, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive. âWeâll know more going into tomorrow when we get back home and see him and how heâs feeling and progressing from there. Thatâll give us a better idea.â
The other big question mark going into this Rays series is starting pitcher Ranger SuĂĄrez, who left his Sunday start against the Houston Astros after the fourth inning due to hamstring tightness. SuĂĄrez would be scheduled to start Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, and stayed in Boston for the team's three-game road trip to focus on his throwing program.
