The Boston Red Sox’s messaging around key injuries has been a bit off so far this season, to say the least. On Thursday, Roman Anthony showed this in a big way.<\/p>\n

Anthony hasn’t played in a game since May 4. Initially, there was hope \u2014\u00a0at least publicly \u2014 that he would only need a few days off and potentially even avoid an Injured List stint. That obviously hasn’t been the case. There have been updates left and right throughout the process, including the most glaring being Red Sox president and chief executive officer Sam Kennedy joining the “The Greg Hill Show”\u00a0on\u00a0WEEI\u00a0last week and shutting down the rumors out there insinuating that Anthony has a torn ligament in his hand. Kennedy said that Anthony had a sprain and that a second opinion even confirmed there wasn’t a tear.<\/p>\n

But, on Thursday, the young outfielder joined WEEI and said otherwise. Anthony shared that he has had a partially torn ring finger ligament, and specifically said it is his ring finger CMC.<\/p>\n

“I’ll put on my doctor suit right now and you know, I don’t know if it has been made clear, but it’s a partially torn ring finger ligament,” Anthony said. “My ring finger CMC to be exact for everyone out there who knows what a ring finger CMC is because I definitely knew what that was before this happened, right? It’s just one of those things, like you said Mother Nature kind of just has to do its thing. It’s just one of those things, almost similar to an oblique where you just have to let it do its thing.”<\/p>\n
