An already banged-up Red Sox outfield received even more bad news on Tuesday night.
Red Sox star rookie Roman Anthony exited Boston’s home matchup against the Cleveland Guardians in the top of the fifth inning after tweaking something in his side.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Anthony whiffed on a curveball from Cleveland starter Slade Cecconi — striking out on the breaking pitch off of a swift hack at the plate.
The 21-year-old Red Sox phenom immediately reached for his lower back and left side as he made his way back to Boston’s dugout — eventually making his way down the tunnel and back into the clubhouse.
