Triston Casas' Red Sox Return Delayed

On March 24th, the Boston Red Sox boasts a ton of promising young players, but first

baseman Tristan Kosses won't be with the big league squad to open the season.

He's still working through recovery from a serious left knee injury that ended his

year last summer.

Kosses skipped all spring training action this offseason as he builds strength step by

step.

At just 26 years old, he's shown real power at the plate, including a breakout 24 home

runs over 132 games back in.

In 2023, that potential has team leaders excited, with some calling him a future 40 homer

thread.

But injuries have limited him since, dropping him to 92 games and 16 homers combined over

the next year and a half, right before his.

Latest setback hit.

Now he'll remain in Fort Myers for the next couple of weeks to tackle key rehab milestones

like sliding, then move to extended spring games.

With the addition of Ketra Wilson Contreras boosting the lineup, Kosses faces stiff competition

to earn every day at bats once healthy.

The Red Sox plans to weave him back in gradually, banking on his bats to solidify their offense

as the season ramps up.
