Overview

  • Team USA and MLB.com confirmed Monday that Anthony was officially added as Carroll’s injury replacement after the D-backs outfielder fractured his right hamate bone.
  • Anthony said manager Mark DeRosa told him he will primarily play left field for the United States.
  • The late-stage roster change followed a Red Sox physical and WBC insurance review, which cleared the way for the formal announcement.
  • Anthony is the youngest player on the U.S. roster after a standout 2025 debut season in Boston, hitting .292/.396/.463 with eight home runs in 71 games.
  • Coverage notes differing counts of Red Sox WBC participants, with MLB.com listing 14 organization players and other outlets citing 12 big leaguers.
