An injury to Gold Glove right fielder Wilyer Abreu opened the door for the Boston Red Sox to call up Roman Anthony, the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball.

Roman Anthony is hitting right in the middle of the Red Sox lineup... and manning a somewhat unfamiliar position Monday night against the Rays.

The Red Sox signed Cora to a contract extension in July 2024 worth $7 million per season, with the deal extending through the 2027 campaign. Given the strong support he has from both the front office and clubhouse, an in-season firing always seemed unlikely.
