Anthony finds himself in left field for just the third time in Boston’s last 12 contests due to some highly-publicized throwing issues. He’s been a liability when he’s out there but the Red Sox don’t have much of a choice given their present roster limitations.

Anthony has started in left field just twice over Boston’s last 11 games after a couple disastrous off-target heaves earlier this month seemed to magnify his glaring throwing issues. Jarren Duran is in left field on Monday night in his place. It’s a bit unclear whether the club will be able to correct them enough that he’s not a complete defensive liability that teams will exploit on the bases. The 21-year-old former top prospect is off to a slow start at the dish as well this season, hitting .200 (11-for-55) eith one homer, three RBI and one steal through 14 games.

Anthony didn’t play Friday because the Red Sox are insisting on getting Masataka Yoshida into the lineup a few times per week whether it makes sense or not. Yoshida is on the bench today.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 21-year-old outfielder. Jarren Duran will cover left field in his place while Masataka Yoshida joins the lineup as the designated hitter and will bat third for the Red Sox. Anthony is off to a very slow start at the dish, slashing just .217/.308/.348 with one homer, two RBI and one stolen base in his first 52 plate appearances.

Anthony is just one of many members of Team USA in the World Baseball Classic to get off to a slow start to the season. The talented 21-year-old is just 4-for-21 to begin the season with a whopping 11 strikeouts and three walks. Perhaps a reset will help, but Anthony is being far too passive at the start of this season and getting himself into too many bad counts. Jarren Duran will play left field with Masataka Yoshida entering the lineup at designated hitter and batting third.

We’re not going to compare him to Kristian Campbell just yet, but this one was ugly. Anthony’s first three strikeouts all came on three pitches against Hunter Brown. He made it up to five pitches before taking a called strike three from Cody Bolton in the eighth. Anthony looked great in the WBC and had three hits in Boston’s opener last week, but he’s 1-for-17 with 10 strikeouts and two walks in his last four games, all of which have been losses for the Red Sox.

To no one’s surprise, Anthony was one of the big ABS winners to start the year. He turned a strikeout into a walk with two outs in the top of the ninth, opening the door for the Red Sox to increase their lead from one run to three. Before that, he had the two hardest-hit balls of the game with his 112- and 110-mph singles. The latter nearly took Sal Stewart’s arm off at first base.

It’s an extremely encouraging development after Anthony and Rafaela were involved in a scary on-field collision during Friday’s spring contest against Atlanta. Both players remained in the contest following the incident and appear to have avoided serious injury. The 21-year-old top-of-the-order catalyst is expected to play a prominent role for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

Anthony and Rafaela slammed their hips into one another in left field and were both down on the ground for an extended period of time. However, they were not only able to stay in the game, but Anthony later singled and was driven in on a two-run home run by Rafaela. It seems the Red Sox avoided a potential disaster here.

Anthony will get a few exhibition games under his belt with the Red Sox before joining Team USA for next month’s World Baseball Classic. The 21-year-old on-base machine’s perch atop Boston’s formidable lineup, which features offseason acquisition Willson Contreras in the heart of the order, makes it easy to project him as an impact fantasy contributor in the runs scored department. His ability to generate consistent hard contact, as evidenced by a 94.5 mph average exit velocity — the highest single-season mark by a hitter under the age of 22 in the Statcast era — portend immediate success at the highest level as a power-hitting table-setter. He’ll be an early-round pick in all fantasy drafts this spring. Here’s the full lineup: Anthony (RF), Ceddanne Rafaela (CF), Wilyer Abreu (DH), Contreras (1B), Masataka Yoshida (LF), Connor Wong (C), Andruw Monasterio (3B), Isiah Kiner-Falefa (SS) and Brendan Rodgers (2B).

The roster move is expected to be made official once Anthony passes an intake physical. He was among several high-profile candidates to replace injured Diamondbacks franchise cornerstone Corbin Carroll on Team USA’s roster for the international showcase. The 21-year-old burgeoning fantasy star, who slashed a robust .292/.396/.463 with eight homers and four steals in 71 games as a rookie last season will become the 12th member of Boston’s active roster to take part in the forthcoming WBC. He represents an intriguing addition to a loaded roster and could wind up playing a key role in the tournament, which figures to further drive up his price tag for fantasy purposes.

It’s a small solace for Red Sox fans who watched their team get eliminated in the playoffs while Anthony was sidelined with an oblique strain. However, the 21-year-old phenom, who finished third in AL Rookie of the Year balloting, heads into the offseason fully healthy and look to establish himself as a true fantasy star next season.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora gave an obligatory update on Anthony’s status prior to Tuesday’s AL Wild Card Series opener against the Yankees. The 21-year-old rookie sensation is not close to making it back from an oblique strain and appears likely to miss a significant portion of the postseason, even if Boston winds up making a deep run.

Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday that Anthony is no longer dealing with any oblique-related pain or discomfort, but still has “quite a bit of room to go in terms of baseball activity.” It sounds like the Red Sox are leaving the door ajar for the possibility that Anthony could make it back during the postseason, but he’s not particularly close at the moment with less than one week left before the playoffs get underway.

Anthony has yet to resume baseball activities after hitting the injured list back on September 3 with a left oblique strain. Boston’s offense has gone into a tailspin since his departure from the leadoff spot, but it seems highly unlikely that he’ll be ready for the postseason with a potential Wild Card series roughly two weeks away at this point.

As expected, Anthony will be out at least two weeks with the strain, and it does appear this could be a season-ending injury for the 21-year-old rookie. It’s possible he could be an option if/when Boston makes the postseason, but for now, Nick Sogard takes his place on the roster.

Anthony left Tuesday’s game against Cleveland with tightness in his left oblique, and the expectation is that will keep him out of the lineup for the next week-plus, at minimum. Nick Sogard is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Worcester to replace the 21-year-old rookie. Just how much time Anthony will miss will likely be determined by imaging.

Not ideal. Anthony will undergo further evaluation and testing to determine whether a trip to the injured list is necessary. The hope for the Red Sox and fantasy managers is that the 21-year-old rookie’s exit was merely precautionary. Oblique issues are notoriously tricky and often linger, so this situation bears close watching. There should be a definitive update on his status ahead of Wednesday’s series finale.

Anthony appeared to grab at his lower back and left side after striking out in the fourth inning and was replaced in right field by Nate Eaton to open the fifth. He finished 1-for-3 with an RBI prior to leaving the contest. It’s cause for significant concern since the rookie phenom missed a couple games last month with mid-back tightness. As fantasy managers are aware, back and oblique issues can be complex matters. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point shortly.

Anthony’s home run was his eighth of the year. The 21-year-old outfielder hit a solo shot off Paul Skenes in the fifth inning. Anthony has six home runs and 10 RBI over his last 17 games. The rookie is hitting .295 with an .879 OPS and 30 RBI so far this season.

Anthony became the youngest player in franchise history to hit a leadoff homer when he took Orioles starter Tomoyuki Sugano deep with a gargantuan 410-foot blast to right-center field. It was his sixth round-tripper in 63 games with four of them coming since August 1. The 21-year-old rookie sensation has checked every metaphorical box on the future superstar checklist since arriving in the big leagues, slashing .283/.396/.451 with six homers, 28 RBI and four steals in 63 games.

The 21-year-old phenom tied the game in the sixth inning with a run-scoring single off of Camilo Doval. He then provided a pair of valuable insurance runs with a two-out, 370-foot (107.4 mph EV) two-run blast off of Yerry De Los Santos in the top half of the ninth inning. Anthony has impressed in his first 59 games with the Red Sox, slashing .286/.405/.448 with five homers, 26 RBI and four stolen bases in his first 252 plate appearances.

Anthony drew a walk and stole second in the first inning. He then walked and scored in both the third and sixth innings before going yard for a solo homer to lead off the eighth. Anthony drew his fourth walk of the game in the ninth and scored for a fourth time. The 21-year-old outfielder is hitting an outstanding.286/.406/.451 with four homers, 33 runs scored, 23 RBI, and three steals across 219 plate appearances.

Anthony managed a two-run homer against lefty reliever Steven Okert in the seventh to bring the Red Sox within a run tonight, but he couldn’t repeat the feat in striking out against Bennett Sousa with a man on and two outs in the bottom of the ninth. To go along with the 398-foot homer, Anthony had a 408-foot flyout in the fifth that would have been a homer in 15 parks. He’s batting .283/.394/.433 as a 21-year-old rookie.

The long-term extension, now official, keeps Anthony in Boston through at least 2033. The deal ostensibly buys out his arbitration-eligible seasons and a couple free agent years. Anthony gains financial security, and the Red Sox lock in a potential franchise cornerstone. The 21-year-old rookie sensation has more than lived up to the stratospheric hype since his mid-June call-up, slashing

Anthony missed a few games while dealing with tightness in the middle of his back, but the 21-year-old is back at it for Wednesday’s tilt versus Kansas City. Maybe the cure for back tightness is $130 million over eight years.

Anthony has been exactly as advertised since being promoted from Triple-A, slashing .283/.400/.428 with two home runs, 27 runs scored, 19 RBI, and two steals in 46 games. He has also posted a 10.7 percent barrel rate, 58 percent hard-hit rate, and just a 9.9 percent swinging strike rate as a 21-year-old. The contract extension will pay him just over $16 million per season, which is about what Andrew Benintendi and Tyler O’Neill are making per season. Once this contract is finalized, the Red Sox will have Anthony, Kristian Campbell, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Brayan Bello all recently signed to long-term contracts.
