Roman Anthony Returns From Hand Injury Before Season Ends in Slump

Roman Anthony returned to the Red Sox on August 30 after missing nearly four months with a right hand ring finger ligament tear. Highlighted by a game-tying slide on August 31, he went 4-for-8 with three extra-base hits in his first two games back. However, Anthony slumped to 1-for-17 shortly after and re-aggravated his hand injury in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series, exiting the game and postseason after developing new muscle strains.
