The Boston Red Sox are dealing with significant offensive absences heading into Game 2 of the Wild Card round against the New York Yankees. Following a silence regarding Romy Gonzalez's status, Chad Tracy revealed an update confirming he remains out, which compounds the loss of Roman Anthony to a hand injury.
