"“For the time being, we're probably going to back off until we get through the off day,” Tracy said. “Obviously we're not going to have him swinging through soreness and discomfort.

Roman Anthony is not getting closer to a return from a sprained ligament in his right ring finger. Interim manager Chad Tracy said Anthony felt soreness while swinging a bat on Monday, leading Boston to shut him down from some baseball activities until Thursday.

He had expected a quick return, but the timeline has shifted, and he is now not expected back until at least the weekend series against the Twins.
