The Boston Red Sox haven't made it official just yet, but according to manager Alex Cora, Roman Anthony is going to be missing in action for the next four to six weeks. The Red Sox skipper confirmed on WEEI that Anthony suffered an oblique strain, and Boston's rookie will now be sidelined for over a month.
This was obviously the direction things were headed after Anthony prematurely exited Tuesday's game and was scheduled for an MRI. Fans were hopeful at first that the outfielder merely suffered a simple back injury that could be cured by a couple days off.
