Casas underwent successful surgery Sunday to repair the ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The 25-year-old suffered the injury during Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins, and the organization didn't waste much time sending him in for the surgery. Casas doesn't have an official timeline for his return, but he's expected to miss the rest of the 2025 season while going through his recovery and rehab programs. Romy Gonzalez has started at first base in both of the two games since Casas went down with the knee injury.

Red Sox's Triston Casas: Likely done for 2025
Rotowire
The Red Sox placed Casas on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a ruptured left patellar tendon.
Although Casas is only on the 10-day IL for now, his diagnosis almost certainly rules him out for the remainder of the 2025 season. Abraham Toro was selected from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move to give Boston infield depth, though Romy Gonzalez will likely receive the bulk of the starts at first.

Rotowire
Manager Alex Cora said Casas suffered a significant knee injury during Friday's game against the Twins, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Casas stepped on first base awkwardly while trying to beat out a throw in the second inning. He left the field on a stretcher and was transported to a hospital. The Red Sox will know more about the extent of his injury Saturday, but it doesn't seem like the 25-year-old will be back in the lineup anytime soon. Romy Gonzalez will likely take over as Boston's primary first baseman going forward.

Red Sox's Triston Casas: Another three-run shot
Rotowire
Casas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to Seattle.
Casas repeated the same line he had Tuesday. He'd gone 14 games without a home run before going deep the last two days. The two homers are a hopeful sign that the first baseman is set to emerge from a slump that has him hitting .171 with a .570 OPS through 91 plate appearances.

Red Sox's Triston Casas: Cracks three-run shot
Rotowire
Casas went 1-for-3 with one walk and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-3 win over Seattle.
Casas extended the Red Sox's lead to four runs in the seventh inning, when he took Trent Thornton deep to center field for a three-run home run. It was Casas' second homer of the season, and he has a disappointing .519 OPS through 22 games and has just three hits in his last 25 at-bats.
Casas went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.
Casas delivered the game-winning run in the 10th inning with a bases-loaded single. While it's way too early to claim the walk-off hit has ended Casas' early-season swoon -- he entered Saturday hitting .172 with a .508 OPS -- it was a big hit for the first baseman, who was batting .125 (2-for-16) with runners in scoring position prior to Saturday's knock.

Red Sox's Triston Casas: Sitting against lefty
Rotowire
Casas is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The 25-year-old will take a seat against Chicago lefty Martin Perez, as the first baseman has yet to receive a start against a southpaw this season. Casas has struggled to a .172/.243/.266 slash line through 70 plate appearances this year, and he's unlikely to break out of the platoon without first coming alive versus righties. Romy Gonzalez will receive another start at first base for Boston.
Casas batted sixth and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora trotted out a reconfigured batting order Sunday, dropping Casas, who had batted cleanup behind Alex Bregman in all 12 of his starts, to sixth. The hot-hitting Wilyer Abreu was promoted to cleanup. "Willy is swinging the bat well," Cora told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. "Triston put some good swings two nights ago but I felt like today was a good day to have this configuration." Casas entered Sunday's contest batting .176 (9-for-51) with a .530 OPS.
