Triston Casas sustained a severe left knee injury, diagnosed as a patellar tendon rupture, during a game against the Twins. Despite being placed on the 10-day injured list, such injuries typically require several months for recovery, as noted by the Red Sox manager and comparisons to other players like Edwin Diaz. This setback is particularly significant for the Red Sox, as Casas has struggled this season, but his past two years show he has been one of their top performers. Considering his history of injuries, this adds further adversity to his young career.
"It's a significant knee injury," the Red Sox manager told reporters. "He's at the hospital right now getting more tests and all that stuff. We'll have more information tomorrow."
Most professional athletes who suffer a patellar tendon rupture are out for several months. Mets closer Edwin Diaz was the most recent notable example, missing the entire 2023 season after needing surgery to repair his patellar tendon in March of that year.
