Casas is three months removed from major knee surgery after suffering a patellar tendon rupture in the first week of May. The 25-year-old is not yet close to baseball activity, but the team is excited by the progress he is making in the training room. “He’s in a really, really good place physically and mentally,” said team president Craig Breslow. Casas had previously claimed he would be ready by Opening Day, and while there’s a long way to go before we can feel as confident as he is, he’s certainly off to a good start in his recovery.

Casas underwent season-ending left knee surgery last month after suffering a patellar tendon rupture. The 25-year-old first baseman is expected to be off crutches in the next few weeks and will spend the next few months rehabbing down in Fort Myers. It sounds like there’s a chance he’s ready for spring training and could be in next year’s season-opening lineup.

The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Alex Bregman. Casas will miss all of 2025 after undergoing season-ending surgery on his left patellar tendon, and there’s no guarantee he’ll be ready for the start of 2026, either.

Casas suffered a left patellar tendon rupture on Friday night and is facing a lengthy absence. Historically speaking, it’s one of the more challenging injuries to make it back from, with recovery times typically in the six-month range. There should be an update on his long-term prognosis at some point in the coming days. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back until the outset of the 2026 campaign.

Red Sox president of baseball operations Craig Breslow told reporters Casas will undergo knee surgery and miss the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old first baseman suffered the significant injury to his left knee on Friday night when he stumbled across the first-base bag while beating out an infield chopper. It’s unclear how Boston will fill the long-term void at the cold corner, but Breslow dismissed the notion that top prospects Roman Anthony or Marcelo Mayer would be considered. The variable to watch is whether franchise cornerstone Rafael Devers is willing to consider giving it a shot, which Breslow didn’t rule out. It’ll be journeyman Romy Gonzalez as a temporary stopgap until the Red Sox decide their next move.

Casas injured his left knee while running to first base during the second inning of Friday’s contest against the Twins and had to be carted off the field. It sounds like the 25-year-old slugger could be looking at an extended stay on the injured list. Expect the Red Sox to provide another update on his status, and probably make a couple of roster moves, prior to Saturday’s ballgame.

Casas lunged to try and beat out an infield dribbler, and his knee seemed to give out as he touched first base. He went down in a heap and had to be taken off the field on a cart. He’ll head for further evaluation to see exactly what’s going on, but it certainly looked like an injury that would keep him out for an extended period of time. Look for the Red Sox to provide an update on his status as soon as more information becomes available.

Casas tripped over the bag at first base and went down in a heap, clutching at his left knee while on the ground. He’ll head for further evaluation to see exactly what’s going on there. Look for the Red Sox to provide an update on his status as soon as more information becomes available.

Casas has been embroiled in the worst stretch of his career, hitting .171 with a .570 OPS in his first 23 games this season, so he knew it was time to make a change. “I felt like I was getting to a good spot, timing-wise, and still missing the ball. So, might have just been the way my barrel was entering the zone. I’ve got really long arms, long levers, so maybe trying to stay so tight to my body isn’t such a good thing. I need to work on getting extended and catching the ball a little more out front (with the bat), and it could start with my stance. The last couple days have been a good indication of hopefully good things to come.” Casas has hit a three-run home run in each of the last two games since the adjustment, so perhaps the hot streak is coming.

WEEI’s Rob Bradford reports Casas went back to his old swing from the 2023 season prior to Tuesday’s series opener against the Mariners and it’s resulted in back-to-back games with a three-run homer. The 25-year-old first baseman appears to be finally turning things around following an ice-cold start at the dish. It’s an encouraging sign that the recent adjustment is translating to on-field results.

Casas needed this one, badly. It was his second round-tripper of the season and first time leaving the yard since April 3. The 25-year-old first baseman has gotten off to a painfully-slow start at the dish this season, but the Red Sox don’t have much of a choice besides trying to let him figure things out. They’ve slammed the door on the idea of Roman Anthony moving to first base and there aren’t any viable alternatives within the organization. Hopefully Casas can turn things around in the coming weeks and make it a non-issue.

Casas has moved down from clean-up to sixth and will now hit seventh as he is in the middle of a rough start to the season. This seems to be a trend with Casas. In his young career, he is a .182/.291/.356 slash line in March and April with a 28 percent strikeout rate. However, from June on in his career, he’s hit .268/.377/.515. This season, Casas has a near 10 percent barrel rate, a career-high fly ball rate, and a near 80 percent zone contact rate. He has gotten more aggressive than he was in the past and is swinging and missing more than he ever has, so this may simply be the case of a young hitter who was too passive early in his career trying to figure out just how aggressive to be. We’d still recommend holding onto him in all fantasy leagues.

Kristian Campbell is batting sixth ahead of him tonight. Casas is batting just .175/.242/.281 in 62 plate appearances, and the Red Sox have been benching him against lefties despite saying he wouldn’t be a platoon player this year. One imagines he’ll get it turned around soon; his bat speed hasn’t gone anywhere and he’s not striking out much more than usual.
