Even on a night where they\u00a0won a game\u00a0with a late rally, the Boston Red Sox had a dark cloud hanging over them.<\/p>\n

Second-year outfielder Roman Anthony left the game in the second inning after injuring his hand on a foul ball in his first at-bat of the night. The good news: X-rays were negative. The bad news: Boston evidently wasn’t satisfied enough with that result to keep him on the road trip in Detroit.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On Tuesday, Anthony will travel back to Boston to see a specialist. He might be back by Wednesday to finish out the road trip, but after missing four games last month with an upper back injury, it’s clear this second season in the\u00a0league is testing Anthony in ways few could have expected.<\/p>\n

What Anthony, manager Chad Tracy said Monday night<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Judging by the reactions from the clubhouse on Monday night, it doesn’t seem as though Anthony and the Red Sox are out of the woods yet in terms of avoiding a stint on the injured list.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never dealt with a hand (injury), so I\u2019ll leave that up to the hand specialist to see what\u2019s going on,” Anthony said,\u00a0per Chris Cotillo\u00a0of MassLive. “As far as X-rays being negative \u2014 or looking negative \u2014 I\u2019m not exactly sure how an X-ray works, but that\u2019s a good sign for sure.”<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Interim manager Chad Tracy not ruling out Anthony returning for Wednesday’s series finale was a good omen, but far from a guarantee.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“The whole point is to get him back with our specialist to see him and see how he is,” Tracy said, per Cotillo. “If everything\u2019s good, we\u2019ll get him back here. But we\u2019ve got to get him back there first.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Just as Anthony was starting to heat up at the plate, he’s dealing with another injury scare. You hate to put the injury-prone label on anyone, but it’s hard to avoid the thought in Anthony’s case, even if this hand issue is different than the oblique strain that ended his year last year or the upper back pain from a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a good feeling,\u201d Anthony said, per Cotillo. \u201cJust got to deal with it, get through it and get back out there as soon as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
