It’s finally Roman Anthony time. The top prospect in baseball is being called up, reports Christopher Smith of MassLive. A few minutes earlier, Chris Cotillo of MassLive reported that a promotion was possible. Outfielder Wilyer Abreu will be placed on the injured list, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Alex Speier of The Boston Globe had previously suggested that an IL stint for Abreu was likely. That will open an active roster spot for Anthony but a 40-man move will also be necessary. It’s unclear at the moment what’s wrong with Abreu but he didn’t start either of the club’s past two games, though he did enter both of those contests as a pinch-hitter.
More to come.
