Roman Anthony is expected to miss the rest of the postseason because of new damage to his right hand sustained in an AL Wild Card Series opener against the New York Yankees. It is not yet clear whether he will need surgery. Batting leadoff as Boston's designated hitter in his playoff debut Tuesday night, Anthony struck out in both of his at-bats against Cam Schlittler, then was removed for a pinch hitter with the Red Sox trailing by two runs in the sixth inning of a 9-0 loss.

The team sent Anthony back to Boston in a car after the game to get MRIs early Wednesday morning that showed new muscle damage. He was replaced on the Wild Card Series roster by infielder Curtis Mead.
