Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas faces new injury setback

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas has been shut down from swinging due to a wrist injury, as confirmed by interim manager Chad Tracy ahead of the team's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This setback comes just two weeks after Casas had resumed a hitting progression following a torn patellar tendon injury sustained in May 2025. The 26-year-old has struggled with injuries, having played only 92 games in the last two seasons. His return was anticipated to provide a much-needed boost to a Red Sox offense that ranks last in home runs in 2026. Additionally, rookie pitcher Connelly Early will seek a second opinion on his elbow injury, while Patrick Sandoval is making a rehab appearance in Double-A.
