Red Sox 'Triston Casas suffered' significant knee injury 'against twins

After a collision on the first basis in the second inning, Triston Casas suffered a serious knee injury against the twins during the game on Friday.

Casas ran out of a floor ball when his left ankle met the first Baseman Ty France awkward in the second inning. The ankle of Casas seemed to be turning when the Red Sox First Baseman stumbled across the leg of France and fell to the ground. Casas reached for his left knee and stayed on the floor for some time, visibly shaken before it was extended from the field.

“It is a significant knee injury,” manager Alex Cora told reporters after the game of Casas. “He is currently in the hospital and gets more tests and all the stuff. We will have more information tomorrow.”

Cora has not given any diagnosis or other details.

It was a scary scene in Fenway Park when Casas was motionless at the first basis. His teammates and twin players looked at themselves when the medical staff was looking for 25-year-old. A stretcher was released and the staff helped Casas.

Casas was seen as he laid on his right leg when he was put on the stretcher, but could not do so with his left.

“It seems like he's shocked to be honest,” said Cora. “[Casas] immediately said he didn't feel. It is difficult. He works so hard. We want him in the field. It is also a hustle and bustle, and that happened. “

On Friday, Casas fought on the plate in 28 games. The left -handed Hitter hoped to make things offensive with the calendar into a new month.

In addition, Casas hoped for a healthy season after discharging four months in his left breast cage for four months last year. He only played 63 games and fought with 13 Homeruns .241.

“You made so much effort in the low season. I know how it works … and everything he did in the low season to prepare for it,” said Cora. “He was looking forward to having a big season for us. It didn't start the way he wanted it, but he continued, continued to work and now it happened. … It was difficult to see him.”

Cora said the team was not yet sure who is being advanced to Casas' place. Romy Gonzalez replaced him as a pinch of runners and finally for the rest of the game on the first basis.

The first basis is not a depth for Boston. Gonzalez and Connor Wong are the only two options of the team on the active roster on Friday after the game. Wong played 14 games at 1B in his MLB career. He returned from the injured list (broken finger) on Friday.

At Triple-A, Infielder Vaughn Grissom first played four games this season. He is a member of the 40-man list. Alex Binelas, not a member of the 40-man list, played 127 games at 1B in his Minor League career.

Regardless of who replaces Casas, and how long is it an all -round unhappy situation.

“Terrible,” said teammate Alex Bregman about Casas' situation (about Sean McAdam from Masslive). “Obviously we all think of him and hope for the best. Great teammate and you hate to see that. We are all thinking of him.”
