The Boston Red Sox are gearing up for a pivotal four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays this weekend, and the latest injury updates bring a wave of optimism to Fenway Park. After a tough stretch, the team is finally catching some breaks on the health front.

Star outfielder Roman Anthony appears to have dodged a bullet. After missing the final two games of the Detroit Tigers series due to a right wrist injury sustained during a swing on Monday, Anthony flew back to Boston to consult a specialist. The good news? Interim manager Chad Tracy reported on Wednesday that Anthony is feeling better, and there’s growing hope he can avoid a trip to the injured list. “We’ll know more going into tomorrow when we get back home,” Tracy said, leaving fans cautiously optimistic about his availability for the Rays series.

On the mound, left-hander Ranger Suárez is another name to watch. Suárez exited his Sunday start against the Houston Astros early with hamstring tightness, but the Red Sox are “hopeful” he won’t need an IL stint. He stayed behind in Boston to work on his throwing program and is currently scheduled to start Saturday’s game against Tampa Bay. The big question remains whether he’ll be ready to pitch without restrictions—a question that will likely be answered after a bullpen session later this week.

In the bullpen, right-hander Justin Slaten is knocking on the door. After tossing a clean inning in Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday—his second successful rehab outing—Slaten looks close to a big-league return. The only question is whether the team will give him one more rehab appearance before activating him from the 15-day IL.

Finally, catcher Willson Contreras gave fans a brief scare when he winced and flexed his hand during his final at-bat on Wednesday. But according to Tracy, it’s nothing to worry about for now. With these positive developments, the Red Sox are shaping up to be in strong form as they take on a division rival in a series that could set the tone for the rest of the season.
