Triston Casas Hospitalized With Significant Knee Injury

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas suffered a significant knee injury while hustling to first base during a game against the Minnesota Twins, requiring him to be stretchered off the field and hospitalized for further testing. Manager Alex Cora described Casas as being in shock after the incident and emphasized the seriousness of the injury, noting it was more than a typical twisted ankle and that more information would be available following medical assessments. Teammates and coaches expressed their concern and support, highlighting the emotional impact of the injury on the team. The Red Sox are expected to call up additional infield depth, with Vaughn Grissom and Nick Sogard considered likely candidates to fill in for Casas during his absence. Casas, who has faced recent speculation and had a slow start to the season, is now sidelined as the team awaits further updates on his recovery. The injury adds to a growing list of health challenges for the Red Sox roster this season.
