The Boston Red Sox have begun reintegrating key players into their roster following significant injury absences. In mid-August, the team prepared for the return of shortstop Trevor Story, who had been sidelined since mid-May due to surgery for a sports hernia, alongside Roman Anthony and Isiah Kiner-Falefa. By late August, the Red Sox officially activated both Roman Anthony and Trevor Story from the 60-day injured list. Anthony, 22, returned after missing 100 games with a sprained right wrist, while Story, 33, returned after missing 92 games. Ahead of a series finale against the New York Yankees, the team utilized both players immediately: Anthony appeared in the leadoff spot as the designated hitter, and Story started at shortstop. To facilitate these roster moves, the Red Sox optioned catcher/designated hitter Mickey Gasper and infielder Anthony Seigler to Triple-A Worcester. These activations are intended to provide a boost to the roster as the team continues its playoff race.
