Red Sox elimination threat

Red Sox face elimination as Roman Anthony's status remains uncertain following hand injury

Roman Anthony was removed from Boston's Wild Card Series opener against the New York Yankees due to a right hand injury. The Red Sox were trailing 2-0 in the sixth inning, and New York took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series with a 9-0 victory. It is unclear if Anthony will be able to play in the upcoming game, which the Red Sox must win to extend their season. Boston manager Chad Tracy said Anthony felt discomfort in his right hand after a couple of checked swings.
