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.”
