• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Moves to IL

  Rotowire Mar 25, 2026

  The Red Sox placed Casas (knee) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Casas is expected to remain at extended spring training in Florida for at least the first month of the season while he works his way back from the surgery he underwent May 4 to address a ruptured left patellar tendon. Per MLB.com, Casas recently reached a key milestone in the recovery process by getting cleared to run the bases and slide, but it's unclear when he might be ready to play in simulated games or take part in a minor-league rehab assignment.

  Rotowire Mar 21, 2026

  Casas (knee) has been cleared to run the bases and slide, MLB.com reports. Casas, who took at-bats in a minor-league simulated game earlier this week, has cleared another hurdle. He's expected to stay behind in extended spring training until ready to begin a rehab assignment.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Won't play in spring training games

  Rotowire Mar 9, 2026

  Casas (knee) conceded Monday that he won't play in any Grapefruit League games, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports. Casas had hoped to play in some spring training contests before the schedule concluded, but he will run out of time. He has yet to do any baserunning or sliding, and a clearer timetable for his game readiness won't be available until he checks off those boxes. Casas is working his way back from patellar tendon surgery on his left knee, which he underwent back on May 4.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Yet to run, slide on repaired knee

  Rotowire Feb 25, 2026

  Casas said recently that he has yet to test out his surgically repaired left knee with running or sliding, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Casas believes he will be ready to play "for some affiliate" Opening Day and doesn't rule out the possibility that it could be with the Red Sox, but it's unlikely. His rehab from patellar tendon surgery has come along well, but the 26-year-old still has some boxes to check before being cleared to play in games. With Willson Contreras set to man first base, the Red Sox can afford to proceed with caution with Casas. When Casas is ready to return to the big club, he will be in the mix for starts in the designated hitter slot.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Doing individual drills

  Rotowire Feb 15, 2026

  Casas (knee) will be doing individual drills when the Red Sox have their first full-squad workout Sunday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. He'll be taking part in drills similar to the rest of the team. For the first time in three seasons, Casas does not enter camp as the primary starter at first base, as offseason trade acquisition Willson Contreras will handle the position. That leaves designated hitter as a potential landing spot for Casas once he's healthy, and he could provide a boost to a lineup that, on paper, lacks power. Any of Boston's four main outfielders could also slot in at DH, however, and Masataka Yoshida will be in the mix as well. Casas, who is recovering from May 2025 knee surgery, isn't expected to be ready for game action by Opening Day.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Gets $1.61 million from BoSox

  Rotowire Jan 8, 2026

  Casas (knee) agreed to a one-year, $1.61 million contract with the Red Sox on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Casas' 2025 campaign was disappointing, to say the least, as he slashed just .182/.277/.303 across 112 plate appearances before suffering a season-ending knee injury in May. His path to regular playing time at first base has seemingly disappeared as well, following the Red Sox's acquisition of Willson Contreras (shoulder) from St. Louis in December. It's worth noting that Casas has minor-league options remaining, so the team may decide to send him back to Triple-A Worcester if his struggles continue into spring training.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Could begin season in minors

  Rotowire Dec 22, 2025

  Casas (knee) could begin the season at Triple-A Worcester following Boston's acquisition of Willson Contreras (shoulder), Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Casas is working his way back from surgery to repair a ruptured left patellar tendon and could be ready to go Opening Day. However, with Contreras added to the mix, the Red Sox could choose to proceed cautiously with Casas, who has minor-league options remaining. A trade of an outfielder (likely Jarren Duran) could allow both Contreras and Casas to play regularly between first base and designated hitter, though Masataka Yoshida also looms as a DH option. A clearer plan for Casas should be revealed during spring training.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Spending winter in Fort Myers

  Rotowire Dec 9, 2025

  Casas (knee) has been at Boston's training facility in Fort Myers since the end of the regular season, Lauren Campbell of MassLive.com reports. Red Sox manager Alex Cora continues to have faith in the young first baseman, who was limited to 29 games last season. "That's great for a young guy to know what he needs to do to compete," the manager said. "He's done that. Hopefully we can get him heathy." The shortened 2025 season was the second consecutive abbreviated campaign for Casas, who was limited to 63 games in 2024 due to a fractured rib. Casas is not a lock to return as the starting first baseman, and the Red Sox are rumored to have interest in free-agent first baseman Pete Alonso.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Another three-run shot

  Rotowire Apr 24, 2025

  Casas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to Seattle. Casas repeated the same line he had Tuesday. He'd gone 14 games without a home run before going deep the last two days. The two homers are a hopeful sign that the first baseman is set to emerge from a slump that has him hitting .171 with a .570 OPS through 91 plate appearances.

  Rotowire Apr 22, 2025

Casas extended the Red Sox's lead to four runs in the seventh inning, when he took Trent Thornton deep to center field for a three-run home run. It was Casas' second homer of the season, and he has a disappointing .519 OPS through 22 games and has just three hits in his last 25 at-bats.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Dropped in order

  Rotowire Apr 14, 2025

  Casas batted sixth and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 3-1 win over the White Sox. Red Sox manager Alex Cora trotted out a reconfigured batting order Sunday, dropping Casas, who had batted cleanup behind Alex Bregman in all 12 of his starts, to sixth. The hot-hitting Wilyer Abreu was promoted to cleanup. "Willy is swinging the bat well," Cora told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. "Triston put some good swings two nights ago but I felt like today was a good day to have this configuration." Casas entered Sunday's contest batting .176 (9-for-51) with a .530 OPS.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Sitting against lefty

  Rotowire Apr 8, 2025

  Casas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Blue Jays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. The left-handed hitting Casas is getting a day off as the Blue Jays send left-hander Easton Lucas to the hill. Romy Gonzalez will start at first base and bat seventh for the Red Sox. Boston has faced two left-handed starters this season, and Casas was held out of the starting lineup in both games.

Romy Gonzalez will draw the start at first base and bat seventh versus St. Louis.

• Red Sox's Triston Casas: Belts first homer

  Rotowire Apr 4, 2025

  Casas went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Orioles. Like a few of his teammates, Casas has had a quiet start to the regular season, going 1-for-17 (.059) through his first five games. The first baseman had an encouraging finish to team's seven-game road trip though, with his two-run homer in the seventh inning giving the Red Sox breathing room en route to their first series win of the season. Casas was often given days off against left-handers last season, and he was on the bench for the lone southpaw the team has faced thus far in 2025. He'll look to build off Thursday's contributions in Boston's home opener Friday against St. Louis right-hander Erick Fedde.

  Rotowire Mar 31, 2025

  Casas will not start Monday in Baltimore, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. The top four in Boston's order hit a combined .138 (9-for-65) during a season-opening series that saw the Red Sox lose three of four games in Texas. Casas, who was 1-for-16 with seven strikeouts, will get the day off against Baltimore lefty Cade Povich, the first southpaw starter the team will face this season.

• 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.
