Standout rookie outfielder Roman Anthony of the Boston Red Sox landed on the injured list Wednesday with a left oblique strain. Infielder Nick Sogard has been called up to take his spot on the active roster.

To be frank, there wasn't a move the Boston Red Sox could make after sending Roman Anthony to the injured list that was going to soften the blow even a little.

Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony is expected to miss the rest of the regular season after he was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left oblique strain. The 21-year-old Anthony departed Tuesday's 11-7 victory over Cleveland after striking out in the fourth inning.
