Triston Casas DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (knee) has been diagnosed with a ruptured left patellar tendon. Casas was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier on Saturday but is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season. He was removed from Friday's contest and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher. For the time being, fantasy managers should expect Romy Gonzalez to see most of the opportunities at first base with Rafael Devers and Connor Wong also being in the mix. Casas had a slow start to the season, holding a .182/.277/.303 slash line with three doubles and three home runs across 29 games. Casas' injury could also eventually open a path for top prospects Roman Anthony or Marcelo Mayer to join the MLB roster as well.

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that first baseman Triston Casas (knee) suffered a significant knee injury in Friday's series opener against the visiting Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park and is currently at the hospital. The skipper said the team will know more on Saturday, but it's a safe bet that Casas will be out for a while. It's not a surprise after the 25-year-old crumbled to the ground after landing awkwardly on first base while running out a groundout. Based on the way the injury looked, a torn ligament in his knee is a possibility, but we'll have a better idea of how long Casas might be sidelined on Saturday. With Casas likely out for an extended period of time, Romy Gonzalez, who replaced Casas at first on Friday, is in line to see regular playing time for the BoSox. In addition to this serious injury, Casas came into Friday's action hitting just .184/.279/.306 with three homers and 11 RBI.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (knee) was removed early during Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers and was placed on a stretcher after a scary-looking injury. Casas appeared to have suffered a knee injury while trying to make it to first base. This looked like an ugly injury, and Casas couldn't even get off the field under his own power. The expectation is that the Red Sox will have Casas undergo further testing. However, fantasy managers should prepare for Casas to miss significant time because of this injury. Romy Gonzalez took over at first base and might see more time over there if Casas heads to the injured list, which seems likely based on how the injury looked on Friday night.
