The Boston Red Sox have called up rookie Roman Anthony in response to Wilyer Abreu, the Gold Glover in right field, being placed on the injured list due to a left oblique strain. Manager Alex Cora noted that while losing Abreu, a key player, is not ideal, Anthony's arrival is viewed positively. The team is now evaluating how best to utilize Anthony in the lineup, considering his potential contributions while navigating the adjustments required for a new player in the majors.
"Wily's a good player, great defender, good at-bat, but [Anthony] will be here."
"Obviously, there's an adjustment period in the big leagues, and I'm not saying we're going to ease him into the action, but we understand the [quality of the] at-bat."
