Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is 'living my worst nightmare' as he embarks on injury rehab
- On May 2, during a game in Boston against Minnesota, Triston Casas, the first baseman for the Red Sox, sustained a rupture of the left patellar tendon that ended his season.
- The injury occurred after Casas fell awkwardly running to first base on a slow ground ball, leading to immediate hospital treatment and surgery two days later.
- Casas has steadily progressed through rehab, currently using crutches but expects to begin mobility training soon at the Red Sox's Fort Myers spring training facility.
- Casas said, "I'm living my worst nightmare right now" due to a months-long recovery but remains positive, aiming for readiness by Opening Day next year.
- The injury left a notable defensive void for the Red Sox, who have struggled in Casas' absence with a 29-33 record, and Casas plans to attack rehab to return strong.
