Anthony was scratched from the lineup for Friday's exhibition game against Northeastern University due to a sore right elbow after he was hit by a pitch Thursday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
The move looks to be precautionary, and Anthony should be ready to return to action in a day or two. The top prospect is attempting to win a spot on Boston's Opening Day roster, and a brief absence early in the spring shouldn't impact his chances.
