There's no denying how much Roman Anthony's oblique injury hurts the Boston Red Sox. They've felt like a completely different team with him in the lineup compared to when he's been hurt or in the minor leagues.
When Anthony starts, the Red Sox are 40-26 this season. That 60.6% win rate would rank second behind the Milwaukee Brewers (61.4%) for the full season.
But when the superstar rookie isn't in Alex Cora's lineup, the Sox are just 40-39, barely above .500. Effectively, Anthony has been the difference in whether the Red Sox play like the San Francisco Giants or Brewers this year.
