To resume workouts Saturday Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that he expects Anthony (illness) to resume workouts Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Anthony hasn't played in a Grapefruit League game since March 2, as he's one of a handful of Red Sox players to come down with the flu. He appears to be on the mend, but it could be a few more days before he's back in game action. Anthony is a candidate to play right field for Boston with Wilyer Abreu (illness) expected to begin the season on the injured list, but he'll need to get back up to speed himself first.

Starting Saturday's exhibition Anthony (elbow) will start in left field and bat second in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact Anthony was scratched ahead of Friday's game against Northeastern University, but the move was said to be precautionary and his presence in the lineup a day later would seem to confirm that it was a minor issue. Widely considered one of the top prospects in the organization and in all of baseball, Anthony reached Triple-A last season at the age of 20. He will have a fighting chance to make the Opening Day roster out of spring training.

Scratched Friday Anthony was scratched from the lineup for Friday's exhibition game against Northeastern University for undisclosed reasons, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Anthony was originally penciled in to start in left field and bat leadoff but will instead sit out Boston's first spring contest. It's unclear if the 20-year-old is dealing with an injury or illness, but the Red Sox should clarify his status in the near future.

Invited to spring training The Red Sox have extended Anthony an invitation to big-league camp during spring training, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact He'll be joined by fellow top prospects Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer. Anthony won't turn 21 until May but looks close to major-league ready after slashing .291/.396/.498 with 18 homers and 21 stolen bases between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester in 2024. Boston's outfield is already crowded, which makes an Opening Day roster spot for Anthony unlikely, but he could force the issue sooner rather than later.

Shows off power in skills contest Anthony won the Futures Skills Showcase in Arlington (Tex.) on Saturday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact The inaugural skills showcase was a three-round competition designed to highlight bat control and power. Anthony was last after two rounds -- the first a bunting competition followed by a hitting to specific thirds of the outfield. It was during the home run part of the showcase when Anthony showed off. He homered on six of his eight swings, including four going the opposite way (which meant more points). Anthony is slashing .241/.349/.441 with 15 doubles, two triples, 10 home runs, 27 RBI, eight steals and 38 runs over 66 games for Double-A Portland.
