Scouting Report: Anthony Rendon
Los Angeles Angels | 3B
Overall
Summary
Roman Anthony, 22-year-old Red Sox outfielder, suffered a right wrist sprain during his first at-bat on May 4, 2026 in Detroit. He was placed on the 10-day IL on May 8. Anthony experienced soreness during rehab swings on May 18, forcing the team to halt batting activity. He received a cortisone shot and was cleared for throwing activities but has not swung a bat since the injury. The setback threatens to push his return deeper into June. Anthony has started the 2026 season slowly, hitting .229 with 1 HR in 130 plate appearances, though underlying metrics show elite bat speed and exit velocity. This is his second IL stint in as many seasons.
Strengths
- Elite bat speed and exit velocity metrics
