Red Sox’s Triston Casas Out for Season After Knee Surgery
The Boston Red Sox will be without thier starting first baseman, Triston Casas, for the remainder of the 2025 season. Casas underwent surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon in his left knee, the team announced Sunday.
Did you know? Patellar tendon ruptures are relatively rare in baseball but can be career-altering injuries. The patellar tendon connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia), playing a crucial role in extending the knee.
the injury occurred during Friday night’s game against the Minnesota Twins. The 25-year-old Casas suffered the tendon tear while running to first base. He was carted off the field and taken to a local hospital.
I talked to him last night. we exchange text messages [el sábado]. We care deeply for their general well -being.
Craig Breslow, Red Sox baseball Director, speaking at a press conference
The surgery to repair the left patellar tendon was performed at Massachusetts General Hospital by Dr. Eric Berkson.
Pro Tip: Recovery from patellar tendon surgery typically involves a lengthy rehabilitation process, frequently enough lasting six to nine months. The focus is on regaining strength, flexibility, and stability in the knee.
Red Sox Manager Alex Cora noted that Casas had worked diligently during the preseason to prepare for everyday play, especially after missing a significant portion of the previous season due to a cartilage tear in his rib cage.
He did an extraordinary job during the preseason to put on that situation. He didn’t start as he wanted. I was going to play and play a lot. Now we have to focus on rehabilitation after surgery and wait for it to return stronger than ever and ready for next year.
Alex Cora, Boston Red Sox Manager
casas’s offensive statistics this season included a .182 batting average, three home runs, and 11 runs batted in. Despite his early-season struggles, Craig Breslow emphasized the significant impact of his absence.
He certainly had difficulties during the first month of the season, but that did not change what we believe his production was able to be. It is indeed a great loss. Along with what we thought we were going to get in the offensive, it was a kind of stabilizing presence in defense; He also had a great personality and was an significant part of the costumes.
