  "account": "The Boston Red Sox activated two key players, Roman Anthony and Trevor Story, on Sunday to strengthen their roster amid a competitive playoff race.\n\nRoman Anthony, sidelined for 100 games due to a sprained right wrist, and Trevor Story, sidelined for 92 games because of a sports hernia, were both expected to miss significant time.\n\nAnthony, 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.\n\nThe 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.\"\n\nInterim manager Chad Tracy emphasized the significance of their re-entry, stating, \"It’s exciting… We’re real excited to have them back.\"\n\nAnthony and Story will come into the lineup at leadoff and shortstop, respectively, to support the Red Sox's efforts in the playoff race.",
