"We both called it and I thought I got it and he thought he got it. It was a misunderstanding. I was just hoping he was OK, I was more worried about him than I was about me. I saw him in some pain and I don't like seeing my teammates in those types of situations."
"Left fielder Roman Anthony and center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela were both tracking a fly ball in left-center when the pair collided and went crashing to the ground in the first inning. They each remained on the ground for some time, but ultimately stayed in the game after being checked out by the training staff."
During a spring training game against the Atlanta Braves, Red Sox left fielder Roman Anthony and center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela collided in left-center field while pursuing a fly ball in the first inning. Both players remained on the ground briefly but were cleared by the training staff to continue playing. The collision resulted from miscommunication, with both players believing they had called for the ball. Despite the impact, both players stayed in the game and recorded hits in the third inning—Anthony with a single and Rafaela with a two-run home run off Chris Sale. Rafaela expressed concern for Anthony's well-being, noting he was more worried about his teammate than himself.
