Triston Casas's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (rib) was back in action for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday following a team off-day on Monday, launching a two-run homer against left-hander Kolby Allard in his rehab game. While it appears likely that Casas will remain with Worcester for the remainder of the week, he will almost certainly be activated no later than next Tuesday, since his minor-league rehab assignment ends on Monday. The Red Sox are taking a very cautious approach with Casas, who has been out since late April with torn cartilage in left rib cage. Entering Tuesday's action, he had taken 30 at-bats in eight games in the minor leagues on his assignment. The 24-year-old slugging first baseman should provide high-end power numbers for Boston and fantasy managers when he returns, slashing .244/.344/.513 with six home runs, three doubles, and 10 RBI across 90 plate appearances this season.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) is taking full batting practice and could go on a minor-league rehab assignment by the end of the week, according to chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. Casas was targeting a rehab assignment all along at the end of July, but there were reports recently that suggested the 24-year-old left-handed slugger wasn't close to playing in minor league games. If Casas indeed begins a rehab assignment later this week/weekend, he'll have a shot to return to the big-league roster in early August. He's recovering from torn cartilage in his left rib cage that he suffered in late April. Given the amount of time he's missed, expect the Red Sox to be cautious in not bringing him off the injured list too soon. When Casas is ready, he'll return to regular first base duties in Boston and is worth rostering in all fantasy formats for his power upside.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) could be close to turning a corner in his recovery process, one of the team trainers told manager Alex Cora. This comes after it was reported over the weekend that Casas wasn't particularly close to going out on a minor-league rehab assignment. We'll have to wait and see what is actually the case for the 24-year-old left-handed slugger, and he remains without a timetable for a return while recovering from torn cartilage in his left rib cage. Casas has been sidelined since late April, so he's going to need a lengthy rehab assignment, and fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him back until at least mid-August. The former first-rounder has considerable power upside when healthy after clubbing a career-high 24 home runs in 132 games in his first full season in the big leagues for Boston in 2023.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) is still "far away" from his minor-league rehab assignment, according to Boston skipper Alex Cora. Greg Dudek of NESN.com reported that Casas has only been seen on the diamond with a microphone, and that seems to be the case going forward. The 24-year-old has reportedly begun taking dry swings, but his potential return date still seems quite far away. Casas has played in only 22 games this season after posting a strong .263/.367/.490 line with 24 home runs, 65 RBI, and a 70:126 BB:K ratio in 2023. The former first-round pick could still return to the major leagues in the stretch run of the season but will have to participate in an extensive rehab assignment beforehand, given how much time he has missed this summer.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) started taking soft toss and hitting off a tee before the All-Star break and could progress within the next week to hitting in the cage with no setbacks. That could mean that he could head out on a minor-league rehab assignment before the end of July. Casas has been sidelined since April 20 but deserves to be stashed in most fantasy leagues because of his power upside from the left side as Boston's starting first baseman when healthy. Before injuring his rib cartilage, the 24-year-old former 26th overall pick was hitting .244/.344/.513 with an .857 OPS, six home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored in 78 at-bats. Casas hit .263 with 24 home runs and 65 RBI in 132 games in 2023 in his first full season in the big leagues.
