Roman Anthony activated, slots into Red Sox lineup vs. Yankees
Boston's top prospect returns from a finger/wrist IL stint and immediately enters the starting lineup as the leadoff DH.
Roman Anthony has been activated from the injured list after missing action since May 4 with finger and wrist injuries. He posted a .280/.367/.600 slash line with two homers and seven RBIs during his Triple-A rehab stint. Anthony will bat leadoff as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale at Yankee Stadium. He is expected to play nearly every day going forward at DH or in left field.
