Joining wild-card roster The Red Sox added Mead (wrist) to their wild-card series roster Wednesday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mead will be replacing Roman Anthony, who suffered a hand injury Tuesday and is now ineligible to play until the ALCS, should Boston advance that far. Mead has spent the past two months working his way back from a fractured wrist he suffered during his first game with the Red Sox, though the fact that he's been added to the wild-card roster suggests that he's feeling well enough to play. He'll remain on the bench to begin Game 2 against the Yankees but could be available to pinch hit or start a potential Game 3.

Long shot to play in postseason Red Sox manager Chad Tracy indicated Tuesday that Mead (wrist) is a long shot to be available for the postseason, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Mead has been sidelined for almost two months with a fractured left wrist that he suffered in his second plate appearance after joining the Red Sox. He began hitting off a tee last week, but his overall progress has been slow and it seems he's likely to run out of time. Mead is under team control through the 2030 campaign.

Beginning tee work Wednesday Mead (wrist) will begin hitting off a tee Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Mead has been out since late July with a fractured wrist, and Wednesday will mark the first time since then that he's done any sort of work with a bat in his hands. He still has several more boxes to check before he can rejoin the Red Sox's lineup, though it's still possible that he returns from the IL before the end of the regular season.

Red Sox Could Get More Firepower as Curtis Mead Stars Playing Catch The Boston Red Sox have a chance to get even more explosive if Curtis Mead can return to the field.

Plays catch on field Monday Mead (wrist) played catch on the field at Fenway Park on Monday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Mead ditched his cast last week after follow-up imagining on his fractured left wrist came back negative. He had been performing strength and mobility exercises and has now progressed to light on-field baseball activities. Mead could be ready to return to Boston's active roster around mid-September if all goes well, but he still has lots of rehab boxes to check before making that a reality.

Ready for mobility, strength work with hand Follow-up imagining on Mead's fractured left wrist came back clean Monday, and the infielder has been cleared to begin mobility exercises and progress toward strength work, MLB.com...

Impact Mead has been able to transition out of the cast he was wearing to protect his injured hand and is now donning a splint. Though he's not yet ready to take part in full baseball activities, ditching the cast at least represents a step forward in the recovery process. The 25-year-old would still appear to have a chance at making it back from the injured list around mid-to-late September.
