The Boston Red Sox have surprised many this season despite facing significant challenges. The team has managed to stay above .500, currently holding a 21-20 record. Impressively, this has been achieved without the Red Sox being at full strength for any game so far this season.
Boston has been plagued by several high-impact injuries, yet the team continues to find ways to win. One notable absence is young slugger Triston Casas, who has been sidelined with a rib injury. However, there is positive news regarding his recovery.
According to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, Casas has begun making progress in his rehabilitation and has started working out in the weight room. Red Sox manager Alex Cora shared that Casas has “started to do stuff in the weight room,” including treadmill and cardio activities.
While this progress doesn’t mean Casas will return to the field immediately, it’s a step in the right direction. He was placed on the 60-day Injured List, and although his exact return date is still uncertain, the initial speculation suggested a recovery period of three weeks to over two months. Being on the 60-day Injured List indicates his timeline is likely closer to the longer end.
Fans and the team alike hope Casas can continue his recovery and rejoin the Red Sox as soon as possible.
