X-rays on Anthony's right wrist returned negative, but he'll fly to Boston on Tuesday to see a hand specialist, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Anthony's trip to Boston appears to be a precautionary measure, as the Red Sox want to ensure the young outfielder avoided a significant injury. Boston is scheduled to play two more games in Detroit, so the 21-year-old will presumably miss the remainder of the series, with the hope that he'll be back in the starting lineup Thursday against Tampa Bay. Masataka Yoshida will be a candidate to see more at-bats in Anthony's absence.
