Scouting Report: Anthony Prato
Chicago Cubs | SS
Overall
Summary
Roman Anthony, Boston Red Sox outfielder, was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 5, 2026, after suffering a right wrist sprain with a sprained ligament near his right ring finger sustained during an at-bat against Detroit on May 4. This is his second IL stint in his brief MLB career. Anthony has struggled offensively in 2026 with a .229/.354/.321 line through 39 games (OPS+ of 95). He received a cortisone shot and has been progressing through rehab, removing his splint and resuming throwing activities. However, he has not yet swung a bat and grip strength remains a concern. The injury pattern is concerning as both his 2025 oblique strain and current wrist injury occurred on awkward swings, with Anthony ranking in the 92nd percentile for swing speed at 75.6 mph.
Strengths
- Cortisone shot administered and showing positive response
