Although Triston Casas’s recovery from his broken rib remains mostly unknown, we do know that he has begun exercising! This is encouraging as deep breathing may be painful, as anyone who has ever had rib cage pain knows. Smith, Christopher, MassLive
However, the injury hasn’t made Triston any less of Triston or prevented him from playing a significant role for the Red Sox. Even though he won’t be leaving the dugout, he’s still making an effort to stick to his daily schedule despite the injury, which includes watching videos and even putting on his spikes for each game.
Per the Boston Globe’s Julian McWilliams, However, Rafaela isn’t the Sox’s only impact rookie at the moment. Wilyer Abreu, his outfield partner, has outperformed him and presently has the third-best chance of winning AL Rookie of the Year. (MassLive, Chris Cotillo) Even though Connor Wong, who will turn 28 in a few months, is not a rookie, he still contributes significantly to the squad. Will he turn out better than most people thought? (WEEI, Rob Bradford)
In my opinion, Wong’s subpar receiving skills are the primary factor preventing him from developing into a better catcher. The Red Sox seem to be becoming into a destination for pitchers looking to reach their full potential, similar to the Tampa Bay Rays. It would be something to focus on and get better at.
