Summary
Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony suffered a right wrist sprain on May 4, 2026, during a check swing in the first inning against Detroit. Initial X-rays came back negative. After undergoing an MRI and consulting with a hand specialist on May 5, the Red Sox determined Anthony is dealing with a wrist sprain and is day-to-day. Manager Chad Tracy indicated the injury "isn't getting much better" but there is no imminent IL placement.
