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

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (rib) is still taking dry swings in his rehab process, manager Alex Cora said before Wednesday's game against the hosting Miami Marlins. As expected, the Red Sox are taking things very methodically with Casas given his long absence due to torn cartilage in his left rib cage and the nature of the injury. Considering he hasn't yet progressed to hitting off a tee, let alone live batting practice, Casas' return to the major-league roster coming before the mid-July All-Star break can be pretty safely ruled out at this point. In 90 plate appearances before going down, the 24-year-old former first-round pick was slashing a robust .244/.344/.513 with six home runs, 10 RBI, and 12 runs scored as Boston's everyday first baseman and remains worth stashing in all fantasy leagues.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) said he swung in the cage on Wednesday for the first time since his injury and felt great. The real test, though, will come when he sees how sore he is on Thursday, but the initial return was like "riding a bike." The 24-year-old left-handed-hitting first baseman took around 20 swings in the cage at roughly 75 percent effort as he recovers from a cartilage tear in his left rib cage that he suffered in late April. The next step for Casas will be to start hitting off a tee before he eventually progresses to facing live pitching before eventually embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. Barring a setback, Casas could return to the Red Sox's lineup at some point in late July. The former 26th overall pick in 2018 had 24 homers in his first full season in 2023 and should be stashed in all fantasy formats because of his power upside.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (rib) had an MRI on his ribs on Monday, and he and the team are awaiting results. The Red Sox are hoping to get Casas back into their lineup as early as next week, and as long as the MRI results come back clean, the infielder should be able to ramp up his activity in preparation for a return before the All-Star break. Casas is on the way back from torn cartilage in his left rib cage, and it sounds like he'll be able to bypass a minor-league rehab assignment before re-entering the mix. The 24-year-old former first-round pick was slashing a potent .244/.344/.513 with six home runs, 10 RBI, and 12 runs scored across 90 plate appearances as Boston's primary first baseman before getting injured this season, and he should be a great source of slugging for fantasy managers upon his activation from the injured list.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (rib) has made significant progress in his recovery from torn cartilage in his left rib cage. Casas was scheduled to be examined on Thursday by the team's medical staff, and the Red Sox should have a better idea of when he'll be cleared to start swinging following that evaluation. He's been doing other baseball activities recently, including taking grounders and throwing, and Casas might have a chance to return to Boston when he's first eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on June 21. The 24-year-old former top prospect was slashing a promising .244/.344/.513 with six home runs, three doubles, 10 RBI, and 12 runs scored through 90 plate appearances (22 games) before going down, and he should be stashed in most fantasy leagues with a late-June return being the expectation.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) is reportedly on track to start swinging a bat next week. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since April 20 with a fracture and cartilage tear in his left ribcage. It is a tricky injury to recover from, but picking up a bat is a very positive sign. Casas is not eligible to return from the 60-day injured list until June 21 and will likely need a few appearances in the minor leagues before activation. Despite the extended absence, Casas is still worth holding in the majority of fantasy formats due to his prospect pedigree and raw power potential. He also remains a high-end asset in any dynasty formats.
