Via Worcester T&G Sports’ Tommy Cassell on X: Source confirms it’s likely that Roman Anthony and Trevor Story will both be in Worcester today.
Interestingly, neither Anthony nor Story are expected to be in Triple-A Worcester’s lineup today.
Via Cassell on X: Although both Roman Anthony and Trevor Story are both likely to be in Worcester later today — neither is supposedly expected to be in the WooSox starting lineup.
Just because Anthony and Story are expected be in Worcester today doesn’t mean they won’t return to the big-league squad this weekend.
Boston is off today before beginning its three-game series against New York in the Bronx. It’s possible Anthony and Story will catch a flight to New York Friday morning.
