Triston Casas News
Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribcage) has been making progress in his recovery from a torn cartilage and left ribcage injury. Casas was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 21 and eventually transferred to the 60-day injured list, which makes him eligible to return on June 21, at the earliest. Casas spoke with the media and mentioned that in the upcoming days, he will begin a running program and start his throwing program. The first baseman has started lifting weights but has yet to swing a bat, and that is projected to be the final step in his recovery. Casas is currently ahead of schedule but is still far away from returning to the field. The 24-year-old was off to a good start this season with six homers and 10 RBI over his first 78 at-bats, and fantasy managers with injured list spots should keep him on the roster until he returns.
The Boston Red Sox, who earlier today acquired veteran infielder Garrett Cooper from the Chicago Cubs, have moved slugging first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) to the 60-day IL. This was done to make room on the 40-man roster for Cooper. Casas was diagnosed with a painful cartilage tear in his left ribcage Friday. The designation to the 60-day IL means Casas will miss at least two months of the season. He reported that he was having difficulty breathing due to the injury. Casas had been off to a good start at the plate, hitting .244 with six home runs and 10 RBI. Cooper figures to take over as the everyday first baseman in Boston while relegating Bobby Dalbec to the bench.
Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (rib) said he avoided a fracture in his left rib cage but instead suffered torn cartilage, which is an unusual injury without contact. Casas was told by a doctor that he "created my own car crash." He has a wide timetable for a return between three and nine weeks to start cardio activity/strengthening. Casas said he's very optimistic that he'll return this year, but fantasy managers could be waiting for a while to get the 24-year-old left-handed slugger back. The former 26th overall pick in 2018 is worth stashing in all fantasy formats, though, as he was already up to six home runs in his first 78 at-bats of 2024. For the foreseeable future, Bobby Dalbec should continue to see most of the playing time at first base in Boston, with Rob Refsnyder also potentially filling in.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas had a tail of two seasons in his 2023 rookie season. The lefty-swinger hit just .225 with nine home runs and a .727 OPS across 77 first-half games before erupting for a .317 BA alongside 15 HR and a 1.034 OPS across just 54 games following the All-Star break. Overall, he walked at a quality 13.9% clip and his .371 xwOBA not only supported his .367 wOBA but ranked in the league's 92nd percentile. Additionally, he ranked in the 79th percentile or better in xSLG, average exit velocity, barrel rate, and hard-hit rate. Add in an 85th percentile ranking in chase rate and a 93rd in walk rate and you're cooking with gas. He's currently the 10th first baseman being taken off the board with an ADP of 105.66. However, he is also being drafted after the likes of Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt, Christian Walker, and Spencer Steer. While he offers zero speed, Casas' patience and power could very well help carry him over those players by the season's end. His ADP is just fine and his big second half is supported by pristine underlying data across the board.
