And for him being there, his focus is on one thing right now: That\u2019s get yourself healthy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When Tracy first mentioned Saturday that the Sox decided Anthony would be based out of their Fenway South spring training\/minor league facility indefinitely, he presented it as logistical. The home clubhouse at Fenway had grown crowded because of the number of injured players, he said, so moving Anthony was a way to open space \u2014 as the Sox had done with a handful of pitchers previously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On Sunday, Tracy added: \u201cIt\u2019s also a very good opportunity for him to go and get away from\u201d the \u201cother stuff.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Remembering former Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey as 50th anniversary of his passing approaches<\/div>\n<p><span>Anthony has been out since May 4, when he got hurt on a seemingly random swing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Nine weeks later, he has not resumed a hitting program as he and the Sox navigate the highly unusual baseball injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This week, Anthony will visit a new doctor: <b>Gary Lourie<\/b> in Atlanta.
