ATLANTA -- There was something different about Roman Anthony at first glimpse when he walked to his locker on Friday afternoon. The outfielder no longer had a brace on his recovering right wrist.

The Phillies and Red Sox have been running on parallel tracks all season, one in the National League and one in the American League. Both expected to contend. Both stumbled badly enough to dismiss their managers before the start of May. And both are now trying to work their way

A couple of weeks ago, we took a look at the hottest hitting prospect in each organization. Now it’s time to check in on the pitchers. While many of the game’s top young arms are still building up and expanding their pitch counts and innings, there have been more than
