Fans are losing it. Can you blame them? For over forty days, the front office treated Roman Anthony’s right wrist injury like a state secret. Thirty-two games missed. No end in sight. The silence from the front office has been deafening, leaving a frustrated fan base to stew in the dark.
Finally, a crack. Before Game 2 against the Rangers, NESN’s Adam Pellerin dropped the actual diagnosis: a small ligament tear in his right ring finger. It turns out the vague “wrist” designation was just a convenient umbrella term for a much more specific, nagging problem.
Anthony claims he’s fine. He says his rehab is right on schedule, dismissing the whispers of setbacks that always swirl around Fenway when a star goes missing. Maybe he is telling the truth. Maybe it is just damage control.
Either way, we still know next to nothing. Pellerin confirmed there is no word on new MRIs, no clue if the kid needs another cortisone shot, and surgery remains unmentioned. So we wait. Typical Boston.
