Shut down from swinging
Anthony (finger) felt discomfort while hitting off a tee Thursday and has been shut down from swinging, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
This is the second time that Anthony has had to pause his swinging progression due to a setback. Interim manager Chad Tracy said the 22-year-old's shutdown period will last a few days, and there is still no timetable in place for his return.

Takes pain-free swings Tuesday
Anthony (finger) took 12-to-15 dry swings without any discomfort Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Anthony had to hit pause on his rehab when he felt soreness the last time he tried swinging a bat, so it's a good sign that the pain was no longer present Tuesday. He will try to take some more dry swings Wednesday. Anthony has been sidelined since early May with a sprained right ring finger and there remains no timetable for his return, but he took a step forward Tuesday.
