Triston Casas was removed from Friday night’s contest against the Twins in the second inning after suffering an apparent knee injury while running out an infield hit.
Casas lunged to try and beat out an infield dribbler, and his knee seemed to give out as he touched first base. He went down in a heap and had to be taken off the field on a cart. He’ll head for further evaluation to see exactly what’s going on, but it certainly looked like an injury that would keep him out for an extended period of time. Look for the Red Sox to provide an update on his status as soon as more information becomes available.
