Roman Anthony Avoids Surgery Following Injury-Marred 2026 Season

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony will avoid surgery this offseason, relying on rest after an injury-plagued 2026 campaign. Anthony battled back tightness, a partially torn tendon in his right hand, and wrist strains that resurfaced during the AL Wild Card Series. Despite being limited to a .229 average with one home run through his first 30 games, he posted a .733 OPS in September and maintained a 12.0% walk rate and 46.6% hard-hit rate while battling through injury.
