Anthony & Story Expected to Rejoin Red Sox This Weekend
Both players are reportedly done with their Worcester rehab stints and could be activated Saturday or Sunday, though Boston's manager cast doubt on the timeline.
A report from Francys Romero indicated Roman Anthony and Trevor Story have completed their time in Worcester and will travel to New York to be activated with the Red Sox on Saturday or Sunday. However, Red Sox beat reporter Ian Browne noted the report conflicts with what manager Chad Tracy said both before and after the game. The contradiction introduces uncertainty about the exact activation timeline. Both players returning would be a significant roster boost for Boston.
