Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas suffered a ruptured tendon in his left knee and is out for the remainder of the season, the team said on Saturday.

But the Red Sox have the depth within their system to find a legitimate outside answer. And remember: the team managed to play .500 ball last year without having a full-time run-producer at first. With an improved rotation, a better bullpen and the addition of Alex Bregman, they should be able to survive.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas was hospitalized on Friday night after suffering a knee injury in a 6-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. Speaking to reporters after the game, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Casas' injury is "significant" and was transported to the hospital to undergo tests that will determine the extent of the damage.
