Triston Casas Set To Return Friday Evening
3 months agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) is set to return to the lineup on Friday evening, according to Chris Cotillo. Casas has been sidelined since late April with a fracture in his left rib cage. The 24-year-old has had a lengthy recovery process but is now poised to return just in time for the stretch run. Prior to the injury, Casas held a .244/.344/.514 slash line with six home runs through 22 games. Last summer, the former first-round selection showcased his high potential by posting a solid .263/.367/.490 line with 24 long balls and 65 RBI. Casas should be a reliable first baseman during the final weeks of the season and will be a welcome addition to a Red Sox team that is in the heat of the wild-card race in the American League.
