Alex Bregman praises top prospect and Red Sox rookie Roman Anthony for reaching a milestone he never has, even with years in the big leagues.

Left-handed hitting rookie Roman Anthony will start in right field vs. Yankees left-handed starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough. The Red Sox and Yankees will play the first game of a three-game series at 7:10 p.m. here at Fenway Park. With Duran sitting, Rob Refsnyder will play left field and lead off.

While the numbers may not scream it, Roman Anthony is making a difference in the Boston Red Sox lineup. Still, one team insider wonders if front office missteps could force him back to Triple-A Worcester.
