BOSTON -- Triston Casas’ attempt to come back this season is very likely over.
The 26-year-old first baseman’s string of injuries probably ended hopes for any playing time after he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left wrist, the team announced Thursday.
Dr. Matthew Leibman at Newton-Wellesley Surgery Center in Wellesley performed the procedure.
“He’s had a handful of different ailments this year with the wrist. It was there for a while, lingering,” interim manager Chad Tracy said before Thursday’s series finale at Fenway Park against the Chicago White Sox.
“I guess the initial part of that was conservative treatment to see if they could get it better,” he said. “They just felt the conservative treatment wasn’t working and they were going to do surgical intervention to fix it.”
Casas saw a hand specialist this week at Fenway Park because one was around, and the team has a few players with hand injuries.
Tracy said he didn’t know what the rehab process was and if Casas’ season was officially over.
Last year, Casas suffered a ruptured left patellar tendon that ended his season on May 2.
During Spring Training, he had an abdominal strain that hindered his chance to play. Then, in July, Tracy said Casas was shutdown with a wrist injury.
His string of injuries started in 2024 when he missed 99 games with a torn rib cage.
Casas has appeared in only 92 games since 2023. He has a .241 career average with 45 homers and 120 RBIs in 251 games.
In 2023, he finished third in AL Rookie of the Year voting with 24 homers and 65 RBIs in 132 games.
He was projected to be Boston’s power-hitting first baseman before the slew of injuries.
