Anthony's Sophomore Slump Deepens in Astros Loss

Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony went 0‑4 with four strikeouts in Tuesday’s 4‑game slump, his third four‑strikeout outing of the season. He has been hitless in his last 14 at‑bats, all in Red Sox losses.

The 21‑year‑old, who had a dominant World Baseball Classic, entered the 2026 season with high expectations but has struggled to build on his rookie campaign. His talent remains, but the league may have adjusted to him, and he may need time to find his rhythm.
