Red Sox Executive Teases ‘Excitement Coming' This Week
Red Sox Executive Teases 'Excitement Coming' This Week originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With a 5-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, the Boston Red Sox have dropped six of their last seven games, falling to 28-32 on the season. Advertisement Boston fans are understandably frustrated with the teams' performance of late. But hope could be on the way. Possibly in the form of MLB's No. 1 prospect Roman Anthony. While no promotions officially occurred on Saturday, that didn't stop Red Sox Senior Director of Player Development Brian Abraham from dropping a little tease to WEEI's Gordo. "A lot of excitement coming the next couple days... little tease." Abraham said. With Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer already playing for the big league club, fans are eagerly awaiting the call up of Anthony, which would reunite Boston's "Big Three" prospects. Advertisement Anthony, the 79th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, has been tearing the cover off the ball for Triple-A Worcester. Through 52 games, Anthony is slashing .305/.435/.500 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs. He also leads the international league in walks and has a .935 OPS.

'I don't think there's a perfect answer to that," Breslow told reporters. "We're trying to balance what's best for Roman and his development with where we are as a team and the way that we're prioritizing our 2025 season." Advertisement Breslow is also very aware of the display Anthony is putting on in Triple-A. "I think you also have to be willing to react to the situation that you have right now, and it's impossible to ignore the performance he's had in Triple-A [Worcester] and how that is lining up with our struggles here at the big league level." Per a report from Chris Henrique of Boston Sports Journal, the Red Sox will be selecting the contract of Anthony's Worcester teammate Nate Eaton, an infielder/outfielder, prior to Sunday's game. Whether this was the "little tease" Abraham was referring to, Red Sox fans will just have to wait and see.

Boston Red Sox prospect (2.03 ERA at Worcester) placed on IL
Triple-A Worcester placed Red Sox starting pitching prospect Shane Drohan on the 7-day injured list with left forearm inflammation Tuesday. The 26-year-old left-hander has been one of the top pitchers in the International League. He has a 2.03 ERA (26 ⅔ innings, six earned runs), 1.05 WHIP and .177 batting average against in seven outings (six starts) for the WooSox this year. He's recorded 38 strikeouts while walking 11 batters. Advertisement Senior director of player development Brian Abraham replied in a text that the Red Sox are 'hopeful' it's a short-term IL stint. Drohan has put himself back on the map as a prospect this year after a difficult couple of years, including undergoing shoulder surgery in February 2024. Boston drafted him in the fifth round in 2020 out of Florida State. He was ranked as high as Boston's No. 3 pitching prospect early in the 2023 season but the Red Sox decided to leave him unprotected in the 2023 Rule 5 Draft after he struggled at Worcester. The White Sox drafted him but returned him to the Red Sox in June 2024, three and a half months after he underwent surgery. More On Red Sox Prospects Read the original article on MassLive.
