Red Sox’ Triston Casas has ruptured patellar tendon, will miss rest of season

BOSTON — Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow confirmed what had been assumed Saturday: first baseman Triston Casas will miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury Friday night.

Casas suffered a rupture of the patellar tendon in his left knee and will require surgery, Breslow said. An exact timetable for his return is unknown but the road to recovery is expected to be a long one.

“We’re still collecting information,” Breslow said. “We don’t anticipate him returning this season.”

Casas was stretchered off the Fenway Park field Friday night after hurting his knee while awkwardly trying to avoid a collision at first base with Minnesota’s Ty France.
