"As I'm sure all of you reading this have heard, Red Sox rookie phenom Roman Anthony will be out roughly 4-6 weeks with a (likely) grade 2 oblique strain. This is, frankly, a crushing blow to the team for the homestretch and any aspirations for a deep postseason run. The Sox will all in likelihood (famous last words) still make the postseason, but with the most positive estimation of his return lining up with Game 2 of the American League Wild Card series, it's gonna be tight."
"Even with this ice-cold start, Anthony has hit .292/.396/.463 for an .OPS of .859 in the majors. Throw out that comically bad first two weeks, and those numbers become .329/.419/.512 for an .OPS of .931. That is a staggering number for a 21-year-old with less than four months in the show."
Mayor Michelle Wu requested a meeting with Roman Anthony's injured oblique. Roman Anthony will be out roughly 4-6 weeks with a likely grade 2 oblique strain. The injury represents a significant blow to the Red Sox during the homestretch and could hinder postseason aspirations. Since Anthony's call-up the team improved from 32-35 to 46-31. Anthony's major-league slash line is .292/.396/.463 for an .859 OPS; excluding his first two poor weeks the line becomes .329/.419/.512 for a .931 OPS. Anthony has 303 plate appearances, a wRC+ of 138 (22nd in baseball), and 2.7 fWAR in 71 games.
