The Red Sox announced this morning that they have released the first baseman Triston Casas On the list of 10-day injuries, the left pat muscle tendon ruptured. He was injured last night's game. Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow Says Cass will undergo surgery and they don't want him to return to Masslive's Chris Cotillo this year.
To replace Casas on the active roster, the team chose Abraham ToroContract from Triple-A Worcester. Boston has an open position in the 40, so no further corresponding deal is needed. In the extra lineup, the Red Sox recovered Brennan Bernardino Choose from bereavement list Luis Guerrero Go to Triple-A.
CASAS news is terrible, but not surprising. He suffered obvious damage last night when he tried to beat the ground, and he hit the first base in embarrassment. He fell into pain for a long time and was eventually taken away by a stretcher. He seems likely to miss a long time, and is now confirmed. He hasn't been transferred to the 60-day IL, but this happens whenever Sox needs a 40-person position.
Sox will have to figure out what to do if you replace CASA on first base. Breslow said all options were on the table and he didn't rule it out Rafael Devers Take over, although the outfield prospects Roman Anthony Or infield prospects Marcelo Mayer It's unlikely to move first.
Devers is currently a full-time designated batsman Alex Bregman. Bringing him to first base and opening the DH seat will help the club make some roster elsewhere.
Anthony and Mayer are two of the best prospects in baseball, but are both in triple A and are somewhat blocked in the major league roster. Sox currently has an outfield mixture including Jarren Duran,,,,, Wilyer Abreu,,,,, Ceddanne Rafaela and Rob Refsnyder. There is Bregman in the field. Trevor's Story and Christian Campbell At third base, shortstop and second base. Outfielder/designated batsman Yoshida Masataka Although he has been struggling with ongoing shoulder issues, his return schedule is unclear and can be involved.
In the case of the DH location Devers, this is a bit crowded. If he is going to take over first base, it will open everything and allow various players to rotate DH positions. Devers had no professional experience at first, but over the years, a large number of third basemen have crossed the diamonds. When Breslow seemed to open the door to the idea, the manager Alex Cora This possibility is underestimated. “From my end, now, not…. He's my DH,” Cora said, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe.
Now, it seems to be a utility infielder Romy González Will be the first attempt. Cora told Speier that this was a chance for González to “go out and perform.” He is the only Boston player to play first base this year. He has been in a good season so far with a batting line of .279/.340/.419 and 113 WRC+. However, this has no home runs and the average ball scored .364 in the game. In his 502 professional event, he has a 0.246/.277/.390 line and an 81 WRC+.
From the first base, this profession production is usually the ideal output for a bat-first position, but Sox can try it out now. Maybe they will explore some external options in the next few weeks, hoping to make a trade or steal another player’s waiver. Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe said Breslow is indeed studying the trade market.
González has previously held a multi-pose role and has also played a role in second and third base games this year. He also played in shortstop and outfield during his career. With him now going to be a regular first baseman at the club, Toro has been added to add defensive versatility on the bench.
Toro, 28, signed a minor league contract with SOX during the offseason. He has been doing well with Triple-A so far this year and although the .392 Babip has helped him, he has a .310/.403/.480 performance. During his major league career, he played three non-shortened infield positions and outfield corners. He has been playing well in Triple-A, but has 0.220/.285/.353 lines and 82 WRC+ in 1,298 Big League Plate appearances.
