The Boston Red Sox's Opening Day roster competition is so tight that many fans haven't given a second thought to recovering first baseman Triston Casas. In the backround of the spring training position battles, he's inching toward a return to the big leagues.
Casas on May 2 ruptured a patellar tendon while running out a ground ball. The injury required surgery to repair and he missed the rest of the 2025 season as he healed. He won't be healthy in time for Opening Day, but he recently gave reporters a better idea of when he may be ready to play.
