Scouting Report: Anthony Castro
St Louis Cardinals | RP
Overall
Summary
Anthony Castro (Roman Anthony) is a 21-year-old Red Sox outfielder placed on the 10-day IL with a right wrist sprain suffered during his first at-bat on May 6 against Detroit. He was in a four-game hit streak prior to the injury. Anthony had an impressive rookie season (.292/.396/.463) but has struggled early in 2026 (.229 average, .675 OPS in 30 games). He signed an 8-year, $130M extension last year. Manager Chad Tracy indicated the wrist "isn't getting much better" but Anthony remains optimistic about a quick return, stating he plans to play the day after IL eligibility ends. This is his second IL stint in as many seasons (oblique strain in 2025).
