Anthony Avoids Serious Injury in Collision, Returns to Lineup

Roman Anthony confirmed he only got the wind knocked out of him during a scary outfield collision with teammate Ceddanne Rafaela in Friday's Grapefruit League game. Despite the ugly incident that drew trainers, Anthony stayed in the game and is back in the lineup for Saturday's exhibition. Through five spring games, Anthony is 3-for-16 with a double and four strikeouts. He is expected to serve as Boston's leadoff hitter to begin the 2026 season.
