The Boston Red Sox were a good team for much of the 2025 season, but they were a depleted one by the end of it. Their roster was ravaged by injuries to key players such as Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, Triston Casas, Lucas Giolito and others, preventing them from making a deep postseason run.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, several of those players appear to be progressing well and should be good to go in 2026 based on the latest Red Sox injury updates from The Athletic\u2019s Jen McCaffrey.<\/p>\n

McCaffrey wrote on Thursday that Anthony \u201cis progressing well\u201d and \u201cpreparing for normal offseason workouts.\u201d He suffered an oblique strain on Sept. 3 that ended his rookie season prematurely, robbing Boston of its best player down the stretch.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox have promoted minor league hitting coordinator John Soteropulos to major league assistant hitting coach. He joins hitting coach Pete Fatse’s staff alongside fellow asst. HC Dillon Lawson<\/p>\n

That plus a new scouting director and more Red Sox noteshttps:\/\/t.co\/JjGEVQ7Nfo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While it was a disappointing end to his season, the 21-year-old outfielder flashed superstar potential before going down with a .292\/.396\/.463 batting line and 3.1 WAR in just 71 games.<\/p>\n

Mayer, who also had his rookie season cut short by injury, began baseball activities with dry swings during the final week of the season and \u201cis also on a normal progression.\u201d He last appeared for the Red Sox on July 23 before undergoing season-ending wrist surgery on Aug. 20.<\/p>\n

While his rookie year wasn\u2019t as impressive as Anthony\u2019s, Mayer showed potential and will likely start somewhere in the infield next year depending on what happens this offseason with Alex Bregman and Trevor Story.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Like Mayer, Casas is also recovering from surgery. He played just 29 games before suffering a season-ending knee injury in early May. Fortunately, his recovery \u201cis still going as planned six months removed with no setbacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casas missed much of 2024 with injuries as well, so he\u2019s more of a question mark heading into next year.<\/p>\n

Boston is counting on all of them to step up and help anchor the lineup next year, so it\u2019s encouraging that their rehabs are going well as the offseason gets underway.<\/p>\n
