Fantasy managers have anxiously waited for the Boston Red Sox to promote OF Roman Anthony, arguably the top prospect in the sport. They have finally gotten their wish, with the Red Sox placing starting OF Wilyer Abreu on the injured list. Anthony should instantly become a regular in the middle of the Boston lineup.

Anthony, 21, excelled at Triple-A Worcester, slashing .288/.423/.491 with 10 home runs over 58 games and 265 PA, while drawing nearly as many walks as strikeouts. He also rocketed a 497-foot grand slam in Saturday's game, at an exit velocity of 115.
