The Boston Red Sox’s leadoff hitter Roman Anthony leaves the AL Wild Card Series opener against the New York Yankees early due to a hand injury. Reports from multiple outlets say Anthony is removed from the game during play, with Yahoo Sports placing his exit in the sixth inning.
The injury context is described similarly across coverage, with the Winnipeg Free Press noting Anthony leaves after aggravating his hand problem. Newsweek also frames the development as a significant postseason setback for Boston following Anthony’s early departure. While the specific timing and phrasing differ slightly among reports, the core event is consistent: Anthony is unable to continue after worsening or acting up from a hand injury, and the Red Sox proceed without him for the remainder of the game.
