Red Sox Weigh Activating Three Rehab Players

Boston’s interim manager Chad Tracy indicated that the club is evaluating whether to promote three players who are currently rehabbing from injuries: Roman Anthony, Trevor Story and Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The discussion took place during a pre-game media session ahead of the Red Sox’s matchup with the San Francisco Giants, with the possibility of one of the three being added to the roster for the upcoming game against the Miami Marlins on Monday. Tracy emphasized that no decision has been made and that the team remains in a “check-in phase” to assess each player’s readiness.

Tracy said the organization has not ruled out activating a rehab player but needs to evaluate how each athlete feels after recent minor-league outings.

Boston will make a decision after the minor-league off day, weighing each player’s health and performance during recent assignments. While none are slated to travel with the team to South Florida on Monday, the club may activate one or more of the three in the near future, depending on the outcomes of the ongoing evaluations.
