Red Sox must maintain momentum to make Roman Anthony return worthwhile

Related Topics: Red Sox, Roman Anthony

The Boston Red Sox will almost certainly play the rest of the regular season without their outfield phenom and the former No. 1 prospect in baseball, Roman Anthony.

The 21-year-old was pulled from Boston's September 2 game against the Guardians and placed on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain, and the Red Sox have felt his absence. They lost their first three games without Anthony in the lineup, and mustered just one run in two of them. The Sox seem to be back on track with back-to-back seven-run wins against the Diamondbacks and A's, but experts aren't convinced.
