The Boston Red Sox are set to receive reinforcements as two key players prepare to rejoin the major league roster. Roman Anthony and Trevor Story concluded their rehabilitation assignments with Triple-A Worcester and are expected to return to the team in the coming days, bolstering a club currently in contention during a critical stretch of the season.
Anthony, sidelined since May due to a torn ligament in his right hand, progressed through rehab stints at both Double-A Portland and Worcester. During his four games with the WooSox, the young outfielder demonstrated his readiness by batting .286 with one home run and four RBIs. Story, a 33-year-old shortstop who has been out since mid-May following sports hernia surgery, appeared in ten games for Worcester, recording six hits including his first extra-base hit of the rehab assignment on Saturday.
Both players expressed enthusiasm about their imminent returns. Anthony noted his excitement about rejoining the team environment and returning to baseball rhythm after months away from competition. Story emphasized that the timing of his surgery was designed to allow his participation should the Red Sox remain in playoff contention, and he expressed confidence in his ability to contribute meaningfully upon his return.
The additions arrive as the Red Sox face the New York Yankees in a crucial series while pursuing a playoff position, with both players eager to help the organization continue its competitive push.
