Anthony, now 22, batted .292 with eight homers and 32 RBIs in eight rehab games for Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. Story, 33, hit .206 with three homers and 19 RBIs in 41 games before his injury.
The veteran duo, who have been integral in the team's playoff push, expressed excitement about returning to the lineup. Story noted, "These guys have put in the work and done the things on the field to get us where we’re at and we’re just coming in to help that."
Interim manager Chad Tracy emphasized the significance of their re-entry, stating, "It’s exciting… We’re real excited to have them back."
Anthony and Story will come into the lineup at leadoff and shortstop, respectively, to support the Red Sox's efforts in the playoff race.
