Red Sox Leadoff Hitter Roman Anthony Leaves Playoff Opener vs Yankees After Aggravating Hand Injury
Anthony left Game 1 after a check-swing issue, and manager Chad Tracy said his right hand flared again before Game 2.
- Boston Red Sox designated hitter Roman Anthony left Tuesday's American League Wild Card Series opener against the New York Yankees in the sixth inning with an apparent right hand injury.
- After multiple check swings, Boston Red Sox manager Chad Tracy confirmed Anthony felt discomfort in his right hand, noting the injury "flared" and re-aggravated an issue that sidelined him for 101 games this season.
- Anthony had his hand wrapped before the game and struck out twice against Yankees starter Cam Schlittler before being replaced by pinch-hitter Andruw Monasterio in the sixth inning.
- The 9-0 loss put Boston on the brink of elimination, and Tracy admitted, "I don't know yet" whether Anthony will be available for Wednesday's Game 2.
- Facing a best-of-three elimination scenario, the Red Sox must decide if a compromised Anthony provides more value than a bench replacement for Game 2 against New York.
