Triston Casas had hoped to return to the Red Sox’ lineup in early July, but he’s still on the injured list. He’ll likely be there for a bit longer, too.
Alex Cora said that the injured first baseman is “still far” from a return and starting his rehab assignment.
“It will be a while,” the Red Sox manager told reporters on when Casas could begin his rehab assignment.
Casas has been out since April 21, when he tore cartilage in his rib cage on a swing during a game against the Pirates. The Red Sox were concerned Casas would be out for quite some time following the injury, putting him on the 60-day injured list though the team wouldn’t give a timeline for him to return.
