With a new contract extension in hand, Roman Anthony is set to return to the Red Sox lineup on Wednesday.

The Red Sox rookie is back after missing the last two games with mid back tightness and is scheduled to lead off for the team’s series finale. He’ll start in left field and bat in front of Alex Bregman, Trevor Story and Jarren Duran, and Masataka Yoshida is also back in the lineup serving as the designated hitter.
