Triston Casas\u2019 2025 season is likely over before May has ended.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox first baseman suffered a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee while running out a grounder Friday against the Twins. Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow told reporters Saturday that Casas will need surgery.<\/p>\n

The standard timeline\u2014six months or more\u2014offers a grim outlook with just five months left in the regular season.<\/p>\n

Casas, 25, was off to a slow start (.184\/.585 OPS) but was still Boston\u2019s best long-term option at first. Now, Romy Gonzalez gets the job in the short term, while Abraham Toro joins the active roster from Triple-A Worcester.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no firm timetable, but history doesn\u2019t offer optimism. Guardians outfield prospect George Valera suffered a similar injury to Casas last September and has yet to return.<\/p>\n

Breslow says the Red Sox don\u2019t expect Triston Casas back this season. He will have surgery. \u201cAll options are on the table\u201d regarding 1B, and he didn\u2019t rule out Devers at this time. Anthony or Mayer moving there is very unlikely.<\/p>\n

For Casas, this marks a second significant injury in under a year. He missed nearly four months last season with rib cartilage damage.<\/p>\n

With Casas sidelined, attention shifts to Roman Anthony. The No. 1 prospect in baseball isn\u2019t a first baseman and hasn\u2019t played the position at Triple-A Worcester. But he entered Friday hitting .290\/.422\/.527 with 22 walks in 26 games, numbers too loud to ignore. The 20-year-old might force Boston\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n

For now, manager Alex Cora said Rafael Devers will remain the primary DH, keeping first base open. Casas\u2019 absence could define the Red Sox\u2019s season\u2014not just by who replaces him, but how soon the future arrives.<\/p>\n
