Red Sox Send Triston Casas for Rib Imaging After Swing Setback

Rib imaging now looms as the key to a murky timeline.

Overview

  • Casas tried swinging in Fort Myers on Tuesday, and Alex Cora said it 'didn't go well' with imaging on his rib area now planned.
  • A knee concern has also been reported during his rehab, adding another variable to his recovery.
  • The team has not set a return date for the 26-year-old first baseman.
  • He tore a patellar tendon last season and struggled in limited action in 2025, hitting .182 with a .580 OPS over 29 games.
  • Boston traded for Willson Contreras to cover first base this offseason, a decision thrown into sharper relief by the club’s 2-8 start.
