The Boston Red Sox suffered a major setback as first baseman Triston Casas has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 season following a ruptured left patellar tendon. Casas sustained the injury during Friday night’s 6-1 win over the Twins, stumbling over the first-base bag and requiring a stretcher to leave the field. The team confirmed he will undergo surgery and is not expected to return this year, marking a second consecutive season cut short by injury for the 25-year-old slugger
With Casas sidelined, the Red Sox face immediate questions at first base. Romy Gonzalez started at first in Saturday’s game, and Abraham Toro was called up from Triple-A Worcester to provide additional infield depth. Team officials have not ruled out moving Rafael Devers, currently the designated hitter, to first base, but manager Alex Cora indicated that Devers will remain at DH for now
The Red Sox’s next game is today at 1:35 p.m. ET against the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park, where fans will get their first look at the new infield alignment As the team navigates a tight AL East race, all eyes are on how Boston adjusts to fill the void left by Casas’s absence.
Meanwhile, speculation continues about whether the Red Sox might seek external help, with names like Anthony Rizzo circulating among fans, though no official moves have been announced
