Triston Casa's injury: Red Sox First Baseman suffers from 'significant knee injury' against twins

Boston Red Sox's first Baseman, Triston Casas, suffered a “significant knee injury on Friday evening against Minnesota Twins (BOS 6, min. The Red Sox have not yet revealed the exact type of injury or further details, including a recovery period.

Casas suffered the injury when he tried awkwardly in the second inning to beat an infield single. He hit his bag and immediately broke to the ground and reached for his left knee. Casas had to be held from the field. Here is the piece:

This is the second serious injury to Casas in so many years. He missed four months with a rib fracture last season. Casas slowly started this season (Friday 0 for 1. The Utility man Romy Gonzalez replaced Casas in the game on Friday. It was his 29th career game in the position.

The Red Sox could try Rafael Devers or the top prospect Roman Anthony on the first basis, although none of the players have ever played the position as a professional and she can learn during the season. Devers played exclusively this year after Alex Bregman is on the hot corner. Anthony is Baseball's top view and an outfielder.

“I think, especially in view of his age, there is still the opportunity for him to develop in the outer field. Until you feel that this is in a place where it is not just a massive opportunities for wearing repetitions,” he should concentrate on it, “said Red Sox Cbo Craig Wroclow at the beginning of this week to the Boston Globe that he is doing anthony on the first basis had moved too. “And I also think that at some point he influences our Major League team and brings another variable to the mix that probably doesn't make much sense if this transition can be difficult in and sometimes. So try to simplify it, try to keep it where he feels comfortable. And if this is a conversation, we will have to be great, then great, then great.”

The plans change and the Casas injury could convince Red Sox to try Anthony on the first basis. You have a full outer field with Jarren Duran in the left, Ceddanne Rafaela in the center and the Wilyer Abreu/Rob Refssnyder train in the right. The 20-year-old Anthony meets five homes and almost as many walks (22) in Triple-A this year .290/.422/.527.

The victory on Friday improved the Red Sox in the season to 18-16.
