The Roman Anthony injury saga has taken another turn, this one due south to Florida. Anthony will visit with yet another doctor in Atlanta this week, then proceed to Fort Myers to continue his rehabilitation. Why the change of scenery? “His focus, a singular focus now, is if you’re in Florida, it’s to get yourself healthy and not have to deal with all the other stuff that goes with it,” Chad Tracy said, clarifying that by “other stuff” he meant “just the day-to-day of being at Fenway.” This is a little bit of a strange move and a strange statement by Tracy, and, if you were inclined to read between the lines, you might think they’re not happy with the way Anthony is handling his rehab in some way.

Will Anthony soon be joined on the IL by another big name? Ranger Suárez left last night’s game with a strained left abductor. The severity of the injury isn’t clear yet, he’ll be evaluated more today. (Sean McAdam, MassLive)

And you probably haven’t been expecting Triston Casas back any time soon, but he too has suffered yet another injury setback. While he had been hitting off a tee and taking soft toss the last few weeks, he’s “had a wrist issue pop up” and will be shutting down his hitting. (Ezra Lombardi, Yahoo)
While there’s nothing good about injuries to key players, it is nice when unexpected names step up and show the org what they can do on the field. Anthony Seigler certainly fits into that category, as he’s quickly earned Chad Tracy’s trust — enough to even start against lefties. (Sean McAdam, MassLive)
