Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

Can you break rib but not an oblique on a swing?

Yes it's possible, could be a cartilage tear as well. You could also do it by swinging a golf club.
Pulling cartilage in your ribs can happen with no impact, and it hurts as much as a broken rib. (I've experienced both)
You’d be looking at a post ASB return best case it it’s is pulled cartilage and possibly a lost season. Weird injury
CJ Cron hasn't hooked on anywhere since he was released. At the very least, there's some familiarity there.
Red Sox are summoning catcher Tyler Heineman to Pittsburgh for Sunday's game, source confirms.

Ditto and ditto. Pulled rib cartilage is debilitating. Just trying to get out of bed is a fucking nightmare.

My first thought was why a third catcher who like the other two has no 1B experience? The answer...there's not another position player left on the 40 roster that they can bring up.
They need help now. I’d rather trade for some 28 year old in AAA who can play Tuesday rather than wait for Longoria or Belt to ramp up.
If it turns out Casas is out for a while, maybe then add one of them too.
Why not just move Mata to the 60 day IL and call up Niko Kavadas, so you at least have a 1B. Even if Mata is close to throwing the timing would about line up with the 60 day stint after his rehab is up, and Kavadas isn't exactly a prospect anymore so if we end up having to dfa him at some point no biggie.
They already had a short bench with Devers not playing. We already saw what can happen last week when the Red Sox played 2 men short and lost in extras. Even if it's just for a day, you need to have a fuller bench.
And how do you suppose they do that, without putting someone else on the IL
I was responding to the poster who wondered why the Red Sox would recall a 3rd string catcher. He's the only position player left on the 40 man roster literally. My suggestion: Put Mata on the 60 day IL and put Devers on either the 15 or 10 Day IL. I'm not sure how long the Red Sox can backdate thr Devers injury but it seems a few more days off might help his knee and shoulder. He hasn't looked right all season.
In the truest of senses, it’s hard to even believe. The entire starting infield (1B, 2B, SS, 3B), a starting OF, and 3/5 starting pitchers injured. And it’s April 20th.
I forget if it was pre or post game, but Cora said that after he had a conversation with Devers and they both felt that with Sunday and the day off on Monday he'll be ready to go on Tuesday. Tuesday is also the day that O'Neill will be eligible to return from the 7 day IL. I'm not sure if he'll be ready or not as the last report I heard a couple of days ago had him still feeling a bit lightheaded.
Well at least there’s a good excuse available if they have a bad season, right? Silver lining and all that.
After two years of this bullshit, when does it even out and we have a run of good luck for once??
Maybe Dalbec will finally find his stroke with the job security that comes after everyone left on the planet roster who can play first base is on the IL.
When the front office starts spending money on guys who aren't made of glass, of course. /s
I checked on BBREF re O’Neill at 1B experience. Nope, not a single game at 1B in the majors or minors. Hell, even Sandoval played there a few games (Giants), even though he split himself in half stretching for a low throw.
Is Brandon Belt retired? He OPSed .859 in 103 games last year for Toronto. That’s Casas territory. I really like Brandon Belt. Terrific Giants player during their big run.

That’s a pretty deep cut, but yeah we own him minimum still!
If Casas is down for an extended period then Belt does look good, assuming still trying to compete
I'm sure they can find space for his walker in the clubhouse if he can manage an OPS greater than .184.Belt is 36. Ugh about Triston.
I've had it twice... both due to injuries. Took me six weeks to get back to normal. The good news is that it wasn't a chronic condition and once it healed, it was healed.
Or later.
Well, at least we didn't lose an exciting player or anything like that.
It'll be interesting to see what they do. I have to think they still want to compete. They're two games over .500, the pitching has been incredible, they're getting excellent seasons out of O'Neill, Casas, Duran, and Yoshida and young guys like Abreu are coming on. They've been out-of-their-minds bad on defense, and the offense has been slightly worse than expected, I think, and could have been better going forward if they had a Casas-like bat. This team could be in the race for a wild-card spot this year, and from there, who knows what happens.
