Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is 'living my worst nightmare' as he embarks on injury rehab
BOSTON — Triston Casas isn't happy about having to watch the remainder of the Boston Red Sox's season following season-ending knee surgery . But he's ready to attack the rehab from his second major injury in two years head on. Casas spoke to reporters Tuesday for the first time since having the procedure last month to repair the ruptured left patellar tendon he injured running to first base after hitting a slow ground ball and then falling awkwardly during Boston's win over Minnesota on May 2. He was carted off the field and taken to a hospital for testing. He had surgery two days later. He was still using crutches Tuesday and said he will be off them soon. He will then head to the Red Sox's spring training facility in Fort Myers, Florida, where he'll spend most of this summer and the offseason undergoing rehab. The 25-year-old plans to be ready in time for opening day next season. 'I'm living my worst nightmare right now to go through a double-digit recovery that's months long,' Casas said Tuesday. 'But going through it now, I feel like I'm going to be better as a consequence of it. It's just part of the game. It's part of running hard down the line. Part of just playing the game how you feel like it should be. I wouldn't have changed anything about it. It's just a move that I've done a thousand times. ... It's just onward from here, I guess.' The first baseman batted just .182 with three homers and 11 RBIs prior to the injury, but the biggest void he left is on defense. The Red Sox have explored multiple options to replace him, including initially asking Rafael Devers to learn the position after he was replaced at third by offseason, free-agent acquisition Alex Bregman , and moved to DH. Since Casas' injury, Abraham Toro has split time at first along with Romy Gonzalez. Casas is attacking this latest injury setback just a year removed from missing a large portion of last season with torn cartilage in his rib cage. 'I'd rather be out there helping the team win games,' Casas said. 'But considering everything that's happened I'm in a good headspace. Just focused on making a healthy comeback and progressing every day in whatever fashion it is and trying to fill my time and get better any way that I can.' He said the recovery timeline he was given has varied in length, but hasn't been anything over a year. 'As of right now, our goal is opening day next year,' Casas said. 'So, I'm going to take it slow. Going to spend the winter in Fort Myers rehabbing and until then just try to stay in a positive mindset. I know there's a lot of healing that's done outside of the training table. So I think I'm trying to take it one day at a time, be positive and maintain a good headspace is going to be important as well.' ___ AP MLB:

AFL 2025: Western Bulldogs superstar Sam Darcy is closing in on a return date
Western Bulldogs could welcome prodigal forward Sam Darcy back from injury as soon as next week. Darcy sustained a knee injury in round 7 against St Kilda after kicking 14 goals in five matches to start the year. He narrowly avoided a seemingly certain ACL tear and has made a remarkably rapid recovery to be available for the Saints again in round 14. Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge confirmed Darcy's imminent availability on Wednesday morning. 'It seems like Sam will probably be available next week, he's trained with the group (and) got through most of the sessions the last two,' he said. 'He's been a real pro in his rehab, so it seems like he'll be ready for selection in next week's game at this point in time. 'I think Sam has probably exploded this year with his growth and his impact on the competition. 'Our fan base I think has been impressed with what he's been able to do and are looking forward to seeing him play again. 'Obviously, we are (too) and I think it's a real credit to our players and coaches to be able to change it, move it in a different direction and spread the load a bit.' Beveridge said Darcy had set the standard for recovering players in rehab by finding alternative ways to stay fit. 'I think the thing with Sam is he's an unbelievable swimmer and he can ride a bike, so even when he shouldn't run he's able to tick over the heart rate,' he said. 'You can imagine he doesn't need many strokes to swim the length of our 25m pool. 'He's really applied himself and sets a tremendous example for a really young player.' Darcy's return will follow that of midfielder Adam Treloar. Treloar has had a difficult season with injury but will feature against Hawthorn at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night. Beveridge said the Bulldogs had to take 'a very different approach to Adam's career'. 'Adam is a really different proposition for us now, even for him to get his head around,' he said. 'We believe he probably won't always have continuity with game after game, he might not play three or four games in a row. 'It might not be because we by design are managing him to make sure he needs a rest, it'll be essentially what he's telling us, how he's recovered from a game, how his training week's been. 'It's a very different approach to Adam's career at the moment. We're hoping he's got a future beyond this year, that will take care of itself, we'll work through that. 'Adam is going to play, he'll be in the selected team … we'll pick him when he's fit and healthy and strong.' The Bulldogs enter round 13 out of the top eight but have a game in hand and a Marvel Stadium-heavy run home.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez 'really close' to returning after hand injury
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston manager Joe Espada said Thursday injured slugger Yordan Alvarez is getting 'really close' to returning to the lineup after sitting out with a hand injury for almost a month. Alvarez, who has been out since May 3 with right hand inflammation, hit off a pitching machine Thursday before the Astros opened a four-games series with the Tampa Bay Rays. 'He's getting really close,' Espada said. 'This is the best I've seen him and this is the best he's felt. So, really good news.' Alvarez is scheduled to hit about 50 pitches off minor leaguers Friday as he moves closer to his return. Espada said they're doing this so he can get game ready without going on a minor league rehabilitation assignment. 'That will be his way to kind of check that box and get ready for games,' Espada said. The biggest obstacle to getting Alvarez back on the field has been to keep the inflammation away as he's ramped up his activity. 'I felt good,' Alvarez said in Spanish through a translator after hitting Thursday. 'Now I just have to wait to see how the hand reacts to the hitting. So hopefully I can return soon.' Alvarez said it's been difficult to be out for so long for an issue that at first was supposed to only keep him out a few days. 'Obviously… it's been a little bit frustrating being on the IL because of my hand,' he said. 'This is not a secret how difficult it is for a hitter to be dealing with hand pain. I've played hurt before, but obviously now with inflammation it's a little bit different.' He said his time on the injured list has lasted longer than expected because they're trying to get him completely well so this isn't something he's dealing with for the rest of the season. 'This is something delicate,' he said. 'I could have returned before but as soon as we saw the hand and how it reacted because of the inflammation, that's why it's been a little bit more time than I anticipated.' ___ AP MLB:
