There haven’t been many updates on Roman Anthony since he injured his oblique earlier this month. But Red Sox manager Alex Cora provided one on Wednesday.

“He’s walking on a treadmill,” Cora said on WEEI. “Up to 25 minutes. (Tuesday) he told me it was a great walk. He walked into the clubhouse and said, ’25-minute walk, it was great.’ He’s doing better. Still sore, but adding stuff to his rehab.

Cora noted there’s still no timetable for Anthony’s return.

“But, one thing that caught my attention (Tuesday) was that he went to my office and he is like, ‘Hey, I’m feeling better,’” he said. “And I haven’t heard that in a while. It’s going to take a while. He’s doing everything possible to hopefully get back.”

Anthony provided an offensive spark for Boston’s lineup before he got hurt. The outfielder was batting .292 with eight home runs and 32 RBI. The 21-year-old was a big reason for the Red Sox’ offensive turnaround in June. Anthony ranked first in the American League in multi-hit games (24), third in on-base percentage (.421) and hits (68), fourth in average (.329) and seventh in OPS (.933) in a 54-game stretch that dated back to June 28.

Typically, an oblique strain takes 4-6 weeks to heal. Four weeks from when Anthony suffered the injury would be Oct. 1 — the date of a potential Game 2 of a Wild Card series.

At the time of the injury, it was believed there was a slight chance that Anthony might return before the regular season ended Sept. 28. That has become a lot less likely.
