First baseman Triston Casas began a rehab assignment with Worcester on Tuesday night, with the WooSox winning 11-6 against the Buffalo Bisons at Polar Park.
Casas last played for the Red Sox on April 20, and was placed on the 10-Day Injured List the next day due to a left rib strain. Less than a week later, he was moved to the 60-Day Injured List with a tear in the cartilage between his ribcage and sternum, an injury more commonly seen among football or hockey players.
His doctor “pretty much chalked it up to me being so big, rotating so fast so many times that I pretty much created a car crash within my body, and it was a matter of time before this happened,” Casas told the Boston Globe in April.
