Roman Anthony Exits Game 1 With Re-Aggravated Right Hand Injury

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony exited Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series after feeling discomfort in his right hand following check swings. The 22-year-old previously missed nearly four months with a torn ring finger tendon in the same hand. Manager Chad Tracy noted Anthony felt a flare-up that was serious, leaving his availability for Game 2 against the Yankees uncertain as Boston faces elimination following a 9-0 loss. In 55 games this season, Anthony hit .245 with five homers and 15 RBIs.
