Triston Casas injury update: Friday 5/2/25

In the bottom of the second inning of Friday’s game between the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins, Triston Casas hit a dribbler down the first base line. As he stretched out to try and beat out the throw, Casas crumbled at first base and immediately grabbed his left knee area.

A stretcher was brought out and carted Casas off the field.

Romy Gonzalez was the substitute on Friday. Gonzalez has filled in at first base whenever Casas has been out of the lineup this season. In 44 plate appearances, Gonzalez is slashing .275/.341/.400. The walk rate is 9.1%, strikeout rate is 18.2%, but the ISO is only .125. Gonzalez has a career 30.5% strikeout rate and .143 ISO. He does have excellent speed, as the 28.3 feet per second is in the 84th percentile.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
