Triston Casas Could Begin Rehab Assignment Before End Of July
3 months agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) started taking soft toss and hitting off a tee before the All-Star break and could progress within the next week to hitting in the cage with no setbacks. That could mean that he could head out on a minor-league rehab assignment before the end of July. Casas has been sidelined since April 20 but deserves to be stashed in most fantasy leagues because of his power upside from the left side as Boston's starting first baseman when healthy. Before injuring his rib cartilage, the 24-year-old former 26th overall pick was hitting .244/.344/.513 with an .857 OPS, six home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored in 78 at-bats. Casas hit .263 with 24 home runs and 65 RBI in 132 games in 2023 in his first full season in the big leagues.
