"Lack of communication. We've got to be better. When [proper communication] doesn't happen, things like that can happen ... If he calls it, it's the center fielder's ball."
"Roman Anthony and Ceddanne Rafaela slammed into each other during a Spring Training game against the Braves. Fortunately, both players avoided serious injury. Anthony, moving to his left, reached out and snared the ball right as his waist collided with Rafaela's midsection."
"It's impressive. He made the decision to stay here (in Fort Myers) in the offseason. The medical team, the trainers, and the strength and conditioning coaches, they did an amazing job with him."
During a Spring Training game against the Braves, Red Sox outfielders Roman Anthony and Ceddanne Rafaela collided while pursuing a fly ball in the first inning. Both players avoided serious injury and returned to the lineup the following day. Anthony made the catch despite the collision with Rafaela's midsection. Manager Alex Cora identified lack of communication as the cause, noting that if proper communication had occurred, the center fielder would have had priority for the ball. Separately, first baseman Triston Casas continues rehabilitation from a torn patellar tendon suffered in May and remains unavailable for Opening Day, though he is progressing through batting practice and fielding drills.
