Boston- at least 48 hours withdrawn from suffering an injury that ended the season during an uncomfortable game around the first base, First Base of Red Sox, Sad Casas had surgery on Sunday.
Casas underwent a successful “Patellar Left Patellar tendon repair,” said the Red Sox on Sunday. The procedure was carried out by Dr. Eric Berkson at Massachusetts General Hospital.
On Saturday, SOX basketball manager, Craig Breslow, confirmed that Casas, who had no other damage to the ligaments or other parts of the knee, would need surgery. The procedure was done shortly, starting what should be an arduous rehabilitation process for 25.
“It’s a great loss,” Breslow said on Saturday. “In addition to what we think we were on the offensive side, it was a stabilizing presence and made some good plays on the field. In addition, a great personality and a large part of the club and the team. It will miss in all facets.”
Casas suffered the injury to the second loss of Friday as he tried to avoid the Ty France de Minnesota while leaving for a Dribbler on the first base line. It was immediately lying on the Fenway Park field and carried by ambulance at a local hospital. Manager Alex Cora said Casas was “in a shock” when he first went down.
“The boy, he likes this,” Cora said. “ He likes to show early. We hate that, but he loves to clean these shoes and stay here late. He loves basketball.This is what makes him feel comfortable. Right now he will not have it for a while, but you know him, knowing his family and knowing the support system he has, he will be again and will be good again.
“ These boys, work so hard to publish, to have great seasons and all this. He did a prominent work in the low season to put in this situation.He did not start the way he wanted, but he was going to play and play a lot. Now we have to focus on rehabilitation after surgery. We hope he would be stronger than ever and be ready to go next year. ”
“Obviously we started this, this last season drops, trying to be aggressive in putting a competitive team on the pitch,” said Breslow. “Unfortunately, this is an opportunity to explore what is available. We will also look internally and potentially externally.”
