Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Sitting out versus southpaw
Rotowire
Anthony is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
The left-handed-hitting Anthony was in the lineup both of the previous two times the Red Sox faced a southpaw, but he'll get a breather Wednesday as the Angels send lefty Yusei Kikuchi to the hill. Wilyer Abreu will start in right field and Rob Refsnyder will serve as the designated hitter for Boston.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: On base three times
Rotowire
Anthony went 1-for-4 with two walks, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to San Francisco.
Anthony kicked off a two-run rally in the ninth inning with his double, but he's managed just four hits through the first 11 games of his MLB career and is batting just .121. That shouldn't be too alarming, as big-league history is littered with prospects of all stripes that have struggled when they first reach the majors. The positive sign is that he remains patient, working three walks over the last two games and not chasing (19.0 percent chase rate). Statcast pegs Anthony with a .243 expected batting average instead, based on a hard-hit rate of 45.8 percent.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Slugs first big-league homer
Rotowire
Anthony went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a 2-0 win over Seattle.
Anthony provided all the offense the Red Sox would need with his 391-foot solo blast in the first inning. The long ball was the first of Anthony's career and just his second hit of any type. Anthony has gone a meager 2-for-21 through seven games, though he's managed to squeeze out a productive four RBI during that span.
Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Sitting against southpaw again
Rotowire
Anthony is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The Red Sox envision Anthony developing into a full-time player over the long haul, but he hasn't yet proven he can handle same-handed pitching. The rookie will hit the bench for the second straight game while the Yankees send southpaw Max Fried to the hill, paving the way for Rob Refsnyder to get a start in right field.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Beginning on bench Saturday
Rotowire
Anthony isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Anthony hasn't yet been able to get going with the bat since getting called up Monday, as he's logged just one hit (a double) across 17 plate appearances. The rookie outfielder does have three RBI and a promising 2:4 BB:K, so he hasn't been as overwhelmed as the .067 batting average may imply. With Anthony taking a seat Saturday, Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Rob Refsnyder will serve as Boston's starting outfielders from left to right.
Anthony is in the lineup for Friday's game against left-hander Ryan Yarbrough and the Yankees, batting fifth and playing right field, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Anthony was pulled for a pinch hitter against lefty Ian Seymour in his major-league debut Monday, raising fears that he could be stuck in a platoon role. For now, that doesn't seem to be the case, as he's in the lineup for his first opportunity to start against a southpaw since his promotion. The Red Sox are set to face two more lefties (Carlos Rodon and Max Fried) over the weekend.
Anthony went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rays.
Anthony went the other way with a pitch outside the zone, lacing a two-run double in the first inning that held up as the winning knock. The two-bagger was Anthony's first hit in the majors and gave him three RBI in his first two contests.
Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Plates run in big-league debut
Rotowire
Anthony went 0-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 10-8 loss to the Rays in 11 innings.
Anthony, who is one of baseball's top prospects, was called up Monday and got the start in right field while batting fifth in his MLB debut. The 21-year-old had a relatively quiet first game, and he committed an error in the fifth inning that allowed a run to score. However, Anthony made amends to some extent in the ninth, when he notched an RBI on a groundout to contribute to a Red Sox rally that sent the contest to extra frames. Anthony is expected to get consistent playing time in right field in the absence of Wilyer Abreu, who landed on the injured list Monday due to an oblique strain.
