Casas Gets Encouraging Health Update as Red Sox Look to 2027

November 10, 2026 — Triston Casas has not played in a major-league game since May 2, 2025, and injuries kept him out for all of 2026. Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said on November 9 that Casas feels good and that the team is encouraged by his current condition.

Breslow praised Casas’s ability to draw walks, avoid chasing pitches and hit for power. He said the club would work to get the first baseman back into games and keep him healthy, while noting that Casas has gone a long time without facing major-league competition. Casas has been discussed as a possible participant in winter ball.

A healthy return could give Boston another option at designated hitter in 2027. Casas played 132 games in 2023, batting .263 with 24 home runs, 65 RBIs and a .367 on-base percentage. He appeared in 63 games in 2024 and 29 in 2025 before missing the following season.

The encouraging update offers a potential boost for a Red Sox team looking to add offense this winter. Whether Casas can build toward a return will depend on his health and how he handles a resumption of game action.
