Roman Anthony and Trevor Story Set to Rejoin Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are preparing to welcome back Roman Anthony and Trevor Story as they gear up for a crucial series against the New York Yankees. Both players have completed their rehabilitation and are eager to contribute to the team as they aim for a postseason spot.

Trevor Story has been sidelined since May due to a sports hernia and underwent surgery in late May. He began his minor league rehab on August 16, making 10 appearances with a batting average of .171. Roman Anthony, who has been out since early May with a finger injury, also completed his rehab, showcasing a strong performance with a .280 average in 8 games.

The Red Sox are currently three games behind the Yankees for the top AL Wild Card position. The team is assessing roster changes to accommodate the returning players, which may affect current roster members. The Red Sox recently split a doubleheader against the Yankees, with their offensive struggles evident in the second game.
