Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas says the current plan is for him to be ready in time for Opening Day next season a month after having season-ending surgery to repair a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee.

Suffering a season-ending injury was a tough pill to swallow for Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas. Casas went down with a ruptured patellar tendon in a 6-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on May 2. The hope is that he'll be healthy in time for Opening Day in 2026.

Triston Casas was blunt about his season-ending knee injury in his first meeting with reporters since it happened: “I’m living my worst nightmare right now."
