Just when it appeared Triston Casas' injury luck could not become much worse, the Boston Red Sox first baseman encountered another frustrating setback. The Red Sox announced Thursday that Casas underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left wrist. Dr. Matthew Leibman performed the procedure at Newton-Wellesley Surgery Center in Wellesley, Mass. Boston did not immediately provide a recovery timetable, but the surgery likely ends any realistic hope of Casas returning during the 2026 regular season.
It represents another difficult turn for a talented hitter who has not appeared in a major league game in more than 15 months.
Casas last played for Boston on May 2, 2025, when he ruptured the patellar tendon in his left knee while running through first base against the Minnesota Twins. The gruesome injury required surgery and ended his season after only 29 games. Casas finished 2025 batting .182 with three home runs, 11 RBIs and a .580 OPS.
He spent the offseason rehabilitating his knee and hoped to rejoin the Red Sox early in 2026. Instead, a left abdominal strain suffered during his ramp-up delayed his return again. Manager Alex Cora said in April that the abdominal injury would keep Casas out "a while" and force him to restart much of his baseball progression. Casas eventually resumed working toward a return before wrist discomfort shut down his hitting program in July.

They came. They saw. They coned.
The Tartan Army's coronation of statues in Boston baffled locals and global audiences alike, however the practice has divided opinion at home.
Monuments across the country have now received the treatment usually reserved for the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow.
But is this the last throes of World Cup fever? Or is the Scotland faithful's new calling card here to stay?
The coning of the Duke, Arthur Wellesley, outside the Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), is thought to have been started by students returning home from nights out in the 1980s.
