• Red Sox's Triston Casas: In lineup for opener

  Rotowire Mar 27, 2025

  Casas (hand) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Thursday's season opener in Texas. Casas took a ball off his bare hand in the field earlier this week, but X-rays were negative, and he'll be good to go for the start of the season. The first baseman was limited to only 63 games in 2024 due to injury but heads into the 2025 campaign with a clean bill of health.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Expected to be fine for Opening Day

  Rotowire Mar 27, 2025

  Casas (hand) is expected to be ready to play Thursday against the Rangers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. X-rays were negative after Casas attempted to field a bad hop with his bare hand Monday. Manager Alex Cora noted after Tuesday's exhibition that Casas was sore but feeling "a lot better," while the decision to hold him out Tuesday was described as precautionary. With that, Casas appears to be in line to bat cleanup against right-hander Nathan Eovaldi on Opening Day, though fantasy managers may want to confirm his status before first pitch.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Sitting out Tuesday

  Rotowire Mar 25, 2025

  Casas is not in the Red Sox's lineup for Tuesday's exhibition game against Sultanes de Monterrey after taking a bad-hop grounder off the right hand in Monday's contest, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. Casas attempted to barehand the grounder, but the ball bounced off his hand and into right field. X-rays after the game came back negative, so Casas sitting Tuesday seems precautionary, but more should be known about his status after the contest.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Not being shopped in trades

  Rotowire Dec 30, 2024

  Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday that the team is "not shopping" Casas in trade talks this offseason, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. We wouldn't have expected him to say otherwise, and Breslow did acknowledge that he's discussed Casas with other clubs in trade scenarios this winter. Breslow also noted that he's looking for a right-handed bat, and a trade of the left-handed hitting Casas still seems possible as the Red Sox seek to balance out their lineup.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Multiple hits again

  Rotowire Aug 27, 2024

  Casas went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays. He was 0-for-2 with a walk in the afternoon game. The afternoon game was the resumption of a June 26 contest suspended by rain. Casas, who was on the injured list at that time, took over at first base for the departed Dominic Smith. The two hits in the nightcap gave him six multi-hit efforts in the 10 games since coming off the IL. Casas is batting .359/.419/.538 with three extra-base hits (two home runs), six RBI and six runs scored since he was activated Aug. 16.

  Rotowire Aug 20, 2024

  Casas went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and two walks in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Astros. Casas has logged multiple hits in three of his five games since returning from what was nearly a four-month absence due to a cartilage tear in his ribcage. He's gone 7-for-20 (.350) since his return, with his homer Tuesday being his first extra-base hit in that span.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Activation coming Friday

  Rotowire Aug 16, 2024

  The Red Sox will activate Casas (ribs) from the 60-day injured list ahead of Friday's game in Baltimore, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Casas is finally ready to rejoin the Boston lineup after being shelved since late April with a cartilage tear in his left ribcage. The first baseman slashed .300/.404/.550 with one home run and seven doubles over 11 rehab games with Triple-A Worcester. Casas will be the everyday first baseman down the stretch, although it's possible he'll be given some extra off days initially following such a long layoff.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Not expected back during homestand

  Rotowire Aug 10, 2024

  Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Casas (ribs) likely won't return from the 60-day injured list before the Red Sox's homestand ends Wednesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports. Casas seems to have physically recovered from the cartilage tear in his ribcage that forced him onto the injured list in April, but he'll remain at Triple-A Worcester for the next several days in order to continue working on his timing at the plate. However, his rehab assignment is set to expire next week, so he should be activated off the 60-day IL sometime during Boston's road series in Baltimore that begins Friday.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Return date up to him

  Rotowire Aug 9, 2024

  Red Sox manager Alex Cora indicated Friday that Casas (ribs) will be activated from the 60-day injured list whenever the first baseman feels his timing at the plate is ready, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports. Casas is 8-for-25 with five doubles and a 7:2 K:BB over six rehab games with Triple-A Worcester. It sounds like the team is no longer concerned about whether Casas is ready physically and now it's just about knocking a little more rust off. While the news is relatively vague in terms of a potential timetable, it would appear Casas could be back any day now. He's been sidelined since late April with a cartilage tear in his left ribcage.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Begins rehab assignment

  Rotowire Jul 31, 2024

  Casas (ribs) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a walk for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. This was the first rehab game for Casas, who batted second and was removed after seven innings. The Red Sox will want to see Casas play the field and in back-to-back games before returning him to the majors. He could potentially be activated off the injured list early in August.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Ready for rehab stint

  Rotowire Jul 28, 2024

  Casas (ribs) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports. The first baseman has been on the shelf over three months due to a strain and torn cartilage in his left rib cage, but he's now been cleared for game action. It's unclear how many rehab games Casas will require before rejoining the Red Sox, but he should have a chance to be activated during the first half of August.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Could start rehab games this week

  Rotowire Jul 25, 2024

  Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Thursday that Casas (ribs) has been taking full batting practice and could be ready to begin a rehab assignment by the end of the week, Chris Henrique of MLB.com reports. The Red Sox have given mixed messages on the status of Casas' progress in recent days, but Breslow's statement Thursday certainly qualifies as the most favorable update that's been offered. If Casas is indeed ready for rehab games in the coming days, he could have a shot to return from the 60-day injured list by early or mid-August. The first baseman has been sidelined since late April with a cartilage tear in his left ribcage.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: May begin rehab assignment soon

  Rotowire Jul 18, 2024

  Casas (rib) could be cleared to start hitting in the batting cage within the next week and may be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment before the end of the month, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. After landing on the injured list April 21 with a strain and torn cartilage in his left rib, Casas had previously expressed optimism that he would be ready to return to the Boston lineup at the start of July. That prediction ultimately proved to be too ambitious, as Casas wasn't even cleared to resume swinging a bat until the final week of June. Casas hasn't seemed to experience any setbacks since he started taking swings again, but facing off against high-velocity pitching in the batting cage or in live batting practice will provide a better test of the first baseman's health. Given that Casas will eventually need at least a few rehab games to get his timing back at the plate, he might not be a realistic option to return from the IL until early August, at least.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Hits off tee

  Rotowire Jul 13, 2024

  Casas (ribs) hit soft-toss pitching and swung off a tee Friday, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Swinging off a tee represents an advancement in Casas' rehab program. The injured first baseman had been limited to dry swings since late June. He's expected to begin a rehab assignment following the All-Star break and is hoping for a late-July return from the 60-day injured list.
