Triston Casas Nears Light Swinging as Red Sox Say Rehab Is Progressing

The stepwise progress reflects a staged recovery that could lead to a return if Casas passes successive medical clearances.

Overview

  • Interim manager Chad Tracy said Wednesday that Casas is approaching the point where he could begin light swinging drills by the end of the week.
  • Casas missed the 2025 season after rupturing his left patellar tendon on May 2, 2025 and then suffered a left intercostal (rib/abdominal) strain during knee rehab on April 6, prompting a move to the 60-day injured list on April 22.
  • The Red Sox report that Casas’ knee is currently “OK” while he continues rotational work for the injured side, but the club has not set an official return date.
  • Casas has shown power potential when healthy yet this is his third straight season affected by injury, which has limited his availability and pushed Boston to use other options at first base.
  • The next steps are stepwise medical milestones—light swings, then batting practice and clearance from team doctors—and the timing of any return will depend on how he responds to each stage and on roster decisions by the club.
