Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony got his spot on Team USA’s roster in the World Baseball Classic. Anthony’s sister Lia re-posted the announcement on her Instagram story on Monday.
The post featured a graphic of Anthony in a Boston Red Sox uniform.
Anthony has been added to the roster for Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll, who underwent hamate bone surgery on Wednesday. Anthony addressed the media to share his feelings on his WBC selection.
“Amazing,” Anthony said. “It was one of those opportunities that you dream of as a kid.Obviously it’s super unfortunate what happened [to Carroll], and hoping for the best for him with a speedy recovery, but it was exciting on my end to be able to just get that call.”
Anthony made his MLB debut in 2025 and posted a .292 batting average in 71 games with eight home runs. He finished third in the AL Rookie of the Year rankings.
He signed an eight-year contract worth $130 million with the Red Sox in August.
