It looks as if the Red Sox are going to need someone else to play first base for a while:


Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas looked to suffer a long-term injury in the bottom of the second inning of Friday night’s game against the Twins at Fenway Park.

Casas hit a ball to the right side of the mound leading off the inning that Twins pitcher Joe Ryan fielded and threw to first. On his way to the bag, Casas' knee buckled after seemingly tripping on the first baseman's leg.

He immediately grabbed for his left knee, and after being tended to by Boston's trainers, was ultimately carted off the field at Fenway Park...
