The Boston Red Sox<\/a> put rookie sensation Roman Anthony<\/a> on the injured list Wednesday after the outfielder experienced left oblique tightness in Tuesday’s 11-7 win over the Cleveland Guardians<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While not giving a specific timetable, Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged that oblique strains typically require four to six weeks of recovery time.<\/p>\n

“He’s one of our best offensive players, but it’s not hard,” Cora said Wednesday. “We have to move on. We’ve been through this before.”<\/p>\n

Anthony could be seen grabbing at his lower back on a swinging third strike in the bottom of the fourth inning. He did not take the field in the top of the fifth, with Nate Eaton<\/a> replacing him in right field at Fenway Park.<\/p>\n

Eaton will lead off Wednesday night against Cleveland, Cora said.<\/p>\n

To fill Anthony’s roster spot, the team recalled infielder\/outfielder Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester.<\/p>\n

Anthony entered the season as baseball’s No. 1 prospect. Since his June call-up, the 21-year-old is hitting .291 with an .861 OPS, 8 home runs and 31 RBIs before Tuesday’s game. He signed an eight-year, $130 million extension with the team in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Red Sox put rookie sensation Roman Anthony on the injured list Wednesday after the outfielder experienced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-116602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
