Triston Casas Gets MRI Monday
4 days agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (rib) had an MRI on his ribs on Monday, and he and the team are awaiting results. The Red Sox are hoping to get Casas back into their lineup as early as next week, and as long as the MRI results come back clean, the infielder should be able to ramp up his activity in preparation for a return before the All-Star break. Casas is on the way back from torn cartilage in his left rib cage, and it sounds like he'll be able to bypass a minor-league rehab assignment before re-entering the mix. The 24-year-old former first-round pick was slashing a potent .244/.344/.513 with six home runs, 10 RBI, and 12 runs scored across 90 plate appearances as Boston's primary first baseman before getting injured this season, and he should be a great source of slugging for fantasy managers upon his activation from the injured list.
