PORTLAND, ME. — Roman's Return.
On Tuesday, Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony took a step in the right direction when he began a rehab ******* ignment with Double-A Portland.
Anthony hit second and served as designated hitter for the Sea Dogs in his first live baseball game in over three months.
"Super excited," said Anthony ahead of Portland's game at Hadlock Field. "I was driving here today, and it just felt weird to finally be here. It's been a long, long process for me and took a lot longer than I could have expected when I first did it.
"But I'm happy that it's all behind me and I can just play baseball."
