Red Sox Finally Welcome Back Two Major Reinforcements For Playoff Push
After nearly four months of waiting, the Red Sox finally activated Roman Anthony and Trevor Story for the most dramatic possible return.
The Boston Red Sox have finally welcomed back two key reinforcements ahead of their playoff push. Shortstop Trevor Story and outfielder Roman Anthony were activated before Sunday's series finale against the New York Yankees. This long-awaited roster move came after nearly four months for Anthony, who had been out due to a partial tear of a tendon near his right ring finger, and several weeks for Story, who had undergone sports hernia surgery in May.
Anthony, now 22, had been rehabbing with the Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester teams, showing improvement before completing his assignments on Saturday. He had hit .280 with two home runs, two doubles, seven RBIs, and four walks during his rehab stint. Meanwhile, Story played in six games for Worcester, managing a .167 average with three RBIs and 11 strikeouts.
With these returns, Boston now has valuable options at both positions, giving manager Chad Tracy more flexibility for the remainder of the regular season.
