The Boston Red Sox activate outfielder Roman Anthony and shortstop Trevor Story from the injured list ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the New York Yankees. Both players are returning after extended absences during the MLB season.
Anthony has been out since May 7, with Yahoo Sports reporting a torn tendon in his right ring finger. One outlet also characterizes his injury as a sprained right wrist, underscoring minor differences in how the injury is described in coverage. Story has been out since May 16 due to a sports hernia, according to multiple reports.
Across outlets, the shared emphasis is that the activations provide depth and lineup flexibility during the stretch run, including as Boston competes in the playoff race. One report notes Anthony missed more than three months (about 100 games) and Story missed about 92 games, placing their returns within a similar timeframe despite differences in injury wording.
