Triston Casas, the first baseman for the Boston Red Sox, is making strides in his recovery from a rib injury that has kept him out of the lineup since April. Casas, who suffered a cartilage tear in his rib cage, is aiming to return to the team by July 2, just in time for their series against the Marlins.
In a recent interview with The Boston Globe, Casas shared that he has started swinging the bat again but is taking it slow to ensure a smooth comeback. He mentioned that he has been gradually increasing his swings without experiencing any soreness, a positive sign for his recovery process.
Although Casas is optimistic about rejoining the team for the series in Miami, Red Sox manager Alex Cora remains cautious about setting a definitive return date. However, Cora expressed his confidence in Casas’s dedication to his rehabilitation and progress.
The injury occurred during a game against the Pirates on April 20 when Casas suffered a cartilage tear in his rib cage. This led to the Red Sox placing him on the 60-day injured list, with hopes of his return at some point during the season.
With Casas eyeing a return date in early July, the team has been managing the first base position in his absence. The struggles of other players in that role have highlighted the importance of Casas’s return to the lineup.
As Casas continues his rehab and aims for a comeback in the upcoming series, the Red Sox and their fans are eagerly anticipating his return to bolster the team’s lineup and strengthen their performance on the field.
