LAS VEGAS \u2014 This wound up being a lost season for Roman Anthony, who missed nearly four months with a sprained right hand and wound up aggravating the injury during the playoffs.<\/p>\n
More than a month out from that latest setback, however, Anthony is trending in the right direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe feels good,\u201d said Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow at the GM Meetings in Las Vegas. \u201cI talked to him yesterday, he\u2019s excited about what the offseason will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Breslow said Anthony is still resting and the plan going forward is for him to be evaluated again in the next couple of weeks. Assuming everything goes well he\u2019ll start some range of motion and strengthening exercises and eventually advance to a hitting progression.<\/p>\n
He added that at this point they\u2019ve \u201ctaken every picture that one can take\u201d of his hand and that the imaging has confirmed the original diagnosis of an aggravated hand sprain along with irritation to the surrounding muscles.<\/p>\n
\u201cRest, that will be the most important part of the recovery process,\u201d Breslow said. \u201cTrying to get through an injury and return to play is very different than trying to heal the injury without having this timeline of wanting to get back and help the team, so we can map this out a little more patiently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anthony was one of a number of injured Red Sox players who Breslow provided updates on Monday. He said Garrett Whitlock (broken right tibia) is still resting but will soon resume throwing, Caleb Durbin (foot and pinky surgeries) is recovering nicely from his two offseason procedures, and Curtis Mead and Garrett Crochet are both all systems go after being activated from their respective injuries during the playoffs.<\/p>\n
With the caveat that nobody knows if spring training will start on time due to the expected lockout, everyone is currently on track to be healthy for the start of camp.<\/p>\n
One player Breslow also touched on was Triston Casas, who has missed most of the past two seasons due to a series of injuries. Casas missed the bulk of 2025 with a ruptured patellar tendon suffered running the bases, and this past season he was sidelined by numerous setbacks, including an abdominal strain and later a wrist injury that required surgery.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a lot of ways a healthy Triston is what we talk about when you think about guys that control the zone and don\u2019t really chase, will take walks, can hit the ball out of the park to right and can use the wall in left as a left-handed hitter. Health has been the hurdle but he feels good, we feel good about where he is right now,\u201d Breslow said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to do everything we can to get him on the field and keep him on the field. At this point it\u2019s been a long time since he faced major league competition so exactly what that\u2019s going to look like I\u2019m not really sure, but I think the talent is still there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Breslow said Casas is currently doing baseball activities and there have been discussions about having the former top Red Sox prospect play winter ball over the offseason.<\/p>\n
