WORCESTER -- Abraham Toro was informed late Friday night that he would be headed to Boston to help stem the tide at first base after Triston Casas suffered a season-ending injury in the Red Sox’ win over Minnesota.
While Toro will figure into the equation for Boston in the short term, there are some options in Worcester who can help down the road, though for some, more time at first base will be needed before they can take on the position in the majors.
The greenest option at first base but a good offensive choice is Vaughn Grissom, who has very limited experience at the position, playing there four times this season for the WooSox.
