Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony came ready to swing the bat during Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Anthony recorded a single in the second inning, but the fun didn't stop there. He would double in the fifth and eighth inning, which resulted in a 3-for-6 day at the plate for Anthony. It was his first multi-hit game of his young career. Anthony is 7-for-26 at the plate with four doubles and one RBI since being called up earlier this month.

Boston Red Sox rookie outfielder Roman Anthony will head to the bench with a left-hander on the mound in Wednesday's series finale against the hosting Los Angeles Angels and southpaw Yusei Kikuchi. Left-handed-hitting second baseman David Hamilton will also take a seat. Wilyer Abreu is starting in right field and batting fifth, Rob Refsnyder is the designated hitter and batting leadoff, and rookie Marcelo Mayer is playing second base and hitting eighth against Kikuchi. Anthony is one of the top prospects in all of baseball this year and should play regularly for the BoSox the rest of the way, but he's gotten off to a slow start to his major-league career, going 5-for-44 (.114) with a homer, five RBI, five runs scored, a steal and 14 strikeouts in 54 plate appearances over 14 games. Refsnyder is hitting .462 with two RBI in 13 career at-bats against Kikuchi and is worth a look as a DFS sleeper.

Boston Red Sox rookie outfielder Roman Anthony is starting in right field and is batting third in Monday's series opener on the road against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert (elbow), who is making his first start off the 15-day injured list. Anthony is being moved up to third in the batting order after the team surprisingly traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The 21-year-old had hit fifth in his first four big-league games after recently being called up. Infielder Kristian Campbell is serving as the designated hitter and is batting ninth, while David Hamilton starts at second and hits seventh. Anthony, the team's second-round pick in 2022, has gone just 1-for-17 with three RBI in his first six big-league games, but he'll now have added RBI and run-scoring opportunities the rest of the way with Devers out of the picture.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony and infielder Marcelo Mayer are not in Sunday's lineup when they face Yankee left-hander Max Fried. Anthony has only made one start against a left-hander since joining the major league roster. While Anthony could ultimately earn a full-time role in the Boston lineup, it appears the Red Sox are being cautious with his playing time and keeping him on the strong side of a platoon. Fellow top prospect Mayer has also been typically held out of action when facing left-handed pitching. Since joining the majors, Mayer has only made two starts against lefties. Despite the limited playing time, Mayer has begun to heat up, posting a strong .313 AVG over his last eight games. Anthony has held a low .063 AVG through his first five games. Fantasy managers should expect both budding stars to return to the lineup on Monday when they begin a series against the Seattle Mariners.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony will get the starting nod in right field on Friday evening when the Red Sox open a series against the New York Yankees. This is significant as the left-handed bat will get the start even with southpaw Ryan Yarbrough taking the bump for the Yankees. So far, through his first taste of the majors, Anthony has been removed from games when facing a left-handed reliever. However, Friday's lineup suggests that the Red Sox could be giving their top prospect a full-time role going forward. Through his first three games with Boston, Anthony has tallied just one hit but brought in three runs. At Triple-A, Anthony was dominant, posting a .288/.423/.491 line with 56:51 K:BB. He is a strong play in DFS batting fifth facing Yarbrough, who enters this game holding a 4.17 ERA.

Boston Red Sox top prospect Roman Anthony caused plenty of fanfare but did not contribute much to the action in Monday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Rays. The 21-year-old, who is the No. 1 overall prospect in all of baseball per MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut in right field batting fifth. He went 0-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. Anthony performed very well in the minors last season. He was also slashing .288/.423/.491 with Triple-A Worcester before getting the call-up, so there is plenty for fantasy managers to be excited about. He is already rostered in 62 percent of leagues, but that means he could still be available for some fantasy managers.

The Boston Red Sox are calling up outfield prospect Roman Anthony from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, a source tells Mass Live's Christopher Smith. Anthony isn't in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays, but he's heading to Boston and should play regularly in the Red Sox's outfield, making him a must-add off the waiver wire if he's available in your league. Per MLB Pipeline, the 21-year-old former second-rounder in 2022 was the No. 1 overall prospect in all of baseball. He gets the call-up after slashing .288/.423/.491 with a .913 OPS, 10 home run, 29 RBI, 45 runs scored and three steals in 58 games with Worcester. On Saturday, Anthony clobbered a 497-foot grand slam at an exit velocity of 115.6 mph, showing just the kind of damage he can do offensively. Although Kristian Campbell homered on Sunday, the fellow rookie could find himself on the bench more often now that Anthony is in town.UPDATE: Anthony will bat fifth on Monday in his MLB debut.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony collected just one hit in four at-bats on Saturday for Triple-A Worcester, but the lone hit was a mammoth 497-foot grand slam that came off the bat at 115.6 mph. In addition to the four RBI, MLB's top prospect also walked once and scored twice in the contest. It was the 21-year-old's 10th home run of the year and the longest home run hit at any level this season. The 6-foot-3 slugger is now slashing .290/.421/.495 on the season. Despite going 5-for-29 (.172) over his last seven games, he owns one of the best hit tools in the minors, and Saturday's display should show that, at the very least, his power is MLB-worthy. Anthony will be one of the next big prospects to get the call to the majors and should be up by the end of the month. The left-handed slugger is a stash candidate in all leagues ahead of his eventual call-up.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-5 extra innings win against Triple-A Rochester. Down one run in the bottom of the ninth, the phenom crushed a full-count breaking ball 110.5 MPH and 428 feet to send the game to extra innings. The 21-year-old has been very passive at the plate this season, with 46 walks to 50 strikeouts on the season and just a 35.6 percent swing rate. However, his batted ball metrics remain gaudy, and the whiff rate is in a solid place. The best prospect in baseball should be expected to make his debut almost any day now at this point and should be owned universally.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony flexed some muscle on Tuesday with a leadoff home run that registered a 115.5 mph exit velocity, finishing the day 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored in the contest for Triple-A Worcester. The game's top-ranked prospect already owned the highest average EV at Triple-A coming into the game, and there will be more of the same on a nightly basis so long as he's in the minors. The 21-year-old has eight home runs and has been on base in 23 straight games, either via hit or walk. He's just waiting for an opportunity to open up in Boston, although at some point, it seems he'll force their hand. The left-handed slugger is the top prospect stash for fantasy in all formats.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony went 3-for-7 over the weekend with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored. The game's top prospect has been on base at least once in every single game in May, either via hit or walk, a stretch of 22 games where he's hit .354 with a .485 OBP, thanks in part to walking (21) more than he struck out (20). For the season, the 21-year-old owns a .321/.453/518 slash line with seven home runs, three steals, a .438 wOBA, and a 162 wRC+. The 6-foot-3 slugger possesses the top average exit velocity at Triple-A (95.2) along with a 60.0 hard-hit rate, and at this point is just waiting for an opportunity to open up with the big league club. He's played mostly in left field this season (20 games), but also center field (10), and right field (4), as well as DH (13). Whether it happens due to underperformance from one of Boston's regulars or injury, Anthony will make his MLB debut within the coming weeks and should be stashed in most leagues for his power upside.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony went 2-for-3 with two singles and two walks in Wednesday's game against Triple-A Buffalo. The 21-year-old has gotten off to a fantastic start in 2025, slashing .298/.416/.473 and a 144 wRC+ over 37 games. Since the calendar turned to May, Anthony's power output has dipped with no home runs and just a .333 SLG. However, he also has a .400 OBP with a solid strikeout rate during this time. For the season, the phenom still has an outstanding quality of contact metrics with a 21.2% Barrel% and a 59.6% HardHit%. Anthony remains the top priority prospect stash and should be expected to be called up sometime this summer. He is currently ranked as the best prospect in baseball on MLB.com.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony went 3-for-5 with three singles, an RBI, and a stolen base for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, pushing his batting average back up to .305 to go along with a .933 OPS, a .418 wOBA, and a .151 wRC+. Just when it looks like Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu looks like he's going cold, he hammers out a three-hit day, which is what he did yet again on Sunday after a 1-for-15 stretch at the plate, staving off Anthony for a bit longer. MLB's No. 1 prospect is still expected to debut within the next few weeks, and he remains a high-priority stash in most leagues as he has the potential to be a four-category contributor who should be able to sprinkle in some stolen bases as well.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony (foot) returned to the starting nine on Tuesday evening and went 1-for-5 with a strikeout. This is an excellent sign as the budding star was dealing with a minor foot injury over the weekend. However, Anthony was able to make a quick return to the starting nine. Through his first 24 games of the Triple-A regular season, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB Pipeline has posted a stellar .306/.439/.565 slash line with five doubles, five home runs, and two stolen bases. Last season, during his first taste of Triple-A action, the outfielder posted a .344/.463/.519 slash line with 12 doubles. Given his impressive start to the campaign, Anthony should be viewed as a top stash option in all standard formats.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony (foot) is dealing with a minor foot injury. The top prospect fouled a ball off his foot on Friday and was held out of action over the weekend. However, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic noted that the team does not anticipate him hitting the injured list. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he is viewed as one of the top prospects in the sport. Through the early part of the Triple-A campaign, the 20-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start to the season. Through his first 23 games, Anthony has posted a stellar .313/.451/.588 slash line with five doubles, five home runs, and two stolen bases. If Anthony can return to the lineup this week, he should still be in the mix for an early MLB debut this summer.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk, and three runs scored on Thursday for Triple-A Worcester. The shoulder soreness that he was reportedly dealing with recently, which limited him to DH duties, appears to be a thing of the past, as he was out patrolling right field on Thursday. The 20-year-old has now hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games, with seven of those going down as multi-hit efforts, and is now slashing .308/.444/.590 with five home runs and a pair of stolen bases over 22 games. Boston's top prospect (MLB No. 2) continues to march towards a major league debut, so fantasy managers who still have an available bench spot should stash the 6-foot-3 slugger before it is too late.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony has reportedly been dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, which has limited Boston's top prospect (MLB No. 2) to designated hitter duties since April 11. Perhaps this has conveniently helped him focus on hitting after starting the year 6-for-34 (.176) through April 10, as the left-handed slugger has gone 14-for-34 (.412) since April 11. With a .286/.419/.543 slash line through the first 19 games, the 20-year-old is on the precipice of making his MLB debut, although the Sox will likely want to make sure he's fully healthy before bringing him up. Right fielder Wilyer Abreu has cooled significantly after his hot start, so the call may come sooner rather than later. As one of the game's top prospects and best hitters in the minors, fantasy managers in need of an offensive boost in the coming weeks should consider stashing Anthony ahead of his call-up, especially in leagues that have an NA roster spot available.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony went 2-for-4 with two home runs during Thursday's game against Triple-A Rochester. This was his fourth multi-hit outing over his last five contests. During this impressive five-game stretch, the top prospect in the sport has held a strong .474/.565/.895 line with eight RBI and five runs. The 20-year-old was in the mix to make the Opening Day roster but was sent to Triple-A Worcester to put the final touches on his development. Through 15 games at Triple-A this season, Anthony has held a .283/.433/.585 line with two doubles and four long balls. Last summer, Anthony received his first look at Triple-A and posted an impressive .344/.463/.519 line with three home runs and five stolen bases across 35 games. He is a strong stash candidate as he is nearing his MLB debut.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony is riding a four-game hitting streak at Triple-A. Over his last four contests, the outfielder has held a strong .438/.471/.563 slash line with two doubles and three RBI. During this stretch, he has only struck out four times. However, before this recent surge, Anthony carried a modest .148/.361/.444 line with just four total hits (two long balls) over the first eight games of the Triple-A regular season. Anthony is considered the top prospect in Boston and the No. 2 in the sport on MLB Pipeline. The 20-year-old was almost able to win a spot on the Opening Day roster during camp but fell short in the competition. Anthony remains a high-upside stash candidate in all standard formats as he would carry elite five-category upside when he gets the call to the big leagues.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony went 2-for-3 with two home runs and two walks during their victory over Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. After going 0-for-3 with two walks in his season debut on March 28, one of the top prospects in the sport bounced back in a big way. He was competing for a spot on the MLB roster during camp but fell short. However, if Anthony can continue to produce at an elite level at Triple-A, he should push for an early 2025 MLB debut. Last season, the 20-year-old appeared in 34 games with Triple-A Worcester and posted an elite .344/.463/.519 slash line with 12 doubles and three round-trippers. He also held a stellar 31:31 BB:K. However, given Wilyer Abreu's hot start to the campaign, the Red Sox may opt to keep Anthony in Triple-A longer than expected. He is worth stashing in all 12+ team formats that start five outfielders.
