Triston Casas Hitting Third In Return From Injured List
4 months agoThe Boston Red Sox activated first baseman Triston Casas (rib cage) from the 60-day injured list on Friday and designated first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith for assignment in a corresponding move. Casas is at first base and is batting third in his return from the IL on Friday against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Corbin Burnes at Camden Yards. It's a tough first matchup back for the 24-year-old, who has been out since late April after he tore cartilage in his rib cage. The young left-handed slugger needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats, though, as Boston's best power hitter when healthy. The former 26th overall pick in 2018 hit 24 homers and drove in 65 runs in 132 games in his first full big-league season in 2023 and could make an impact with his power down the stretch in all fantasy formats.
