Triston Casas faced a significant knee injury during a game against Minnesota, resulting in his hospitalization after being stretchered off the field. This incident occurred in the second inning following an awkward lunge at first base. Previously, Casas had already missed a substantial time last season due to a rib injury. His performance this season has also been less than ideal. With uncertainty surrounding his treatment and recovery, the Red Sox will likely need to explore options as they lack depth in the first base position, relying on Romy Gonzalez and others.
According to Ian Browne of MLB.com, Casas remains at a local hospital after being taken off the field on a stretcher.
It's devastating news for Casas, who is facing a second lengthy absence in as many seasons due to a significant knee injury.
The Red Sox will presumably provide more specifics on the injury and treatment plan in the coming days.
The Sox don't have an obvious solution in the minors as they look to fill the first base position left vacated by Casas.
