Red Sox's Triston Casas Sustains Significant Knee Injury vs. Twins

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas suffered a significant left knee injury after awkwardly falling while running out a play at first base during a win over the Minnesota Twins. He was immediately taken to a local hospital for further evaluation, and manager Alex Cora described the injury as serious, with more details expected soon. Casas, who had been struggling offensively this season, has now faced major injuries in consecutive years, raising concerns for both his long-term health and the team's roster depth at first base. Utility player Romy Gonzalez replaced Casas during the game, but the Red Sox lack a clear replacement at first, with no natural options on their 40-man roster and no standout candidates in the minors. There is speculation the team may consider calling up a top prospect, though such a move would require significant adjustment. The injury compounds an already difficult season for the Red Sox, who have been particularly impacted by injuries across their roster.
