Boston Red Sox News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Casas's Rib Injury Shadows Contreras's First Base Role. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 7th, Boston Red Sox front office looks smart for trading for Wilson Contreras this off-season to man first base, even with Tristan Cossus, already on the roster. Cossus has been sidelined since a torn Pateller tendon back in early May last year, and his comeback just hit another wall. Alex Cora shared the latest from Fort Myers, where Cossus' recent batting practice session went south fast. Now he's heading for imaging on his river area after this fresh setback. Fans and analysts see this as rough news for a young slugger who's posted an 800 OPS with 45 homers over 251. Games. Getting him back would boost the line of death, big time. Contreras has held it down steadily at first, but Cossus' rib issues are stealing the spotlight from his original knee problem. No clear timeline yet on when he swings again or hits the miners for rehab. Red Sox stay patient while Contreras keeps producing, turning that bold trade into a win for now as they grind through the season. This has been Boston Red Sox News today, powered by AI.
I'm Cora with the story.
