While the Boston Red Sox initially hoped young outfielder Roman Anthony wouldn't need a stint on the Injured List, that is not the case.

On Thursday afternoon, The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey reported that Roman Anthony will be placed on the Injured List due to his right wrist sprain that he suffered against the Detroit Tigers. In his place, the Red Sox will promote Mickey Gasper to provide some offense off the bench.

"Roman Anthony will be placed on the IL today. Nothing has gotten worse with the wrist but he’s still a couple days out from playing and they can’t keep playing short handed. Mickey Gasper called up for come off the bench," McCaffrey wrote. "Ranger Suárez is progressing."

This is a breaing update that will be updated.
