Red Sox’s Future Without Alex Bregman

BOSTON — Red Sox’ Triston Casas said he’s participating in “just about all baseball activities” but he’s unsure if he will be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season. Casas underwent season-ending surgery last May after he ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee.
Anthony and Mayer were stuck watching on TV from Fort Myers, Fla., where they were rehabbing injuries in a longshot attempt to return.
The Boston Red Sox officially passed the torch to young shortstop Marcelo Mayer, who will wear Rafael Devers’ iconic No. 11, reflecting a broader offseason roster reshaping ahead of 2026.
Marcelo Mayer won’t don No. 39 in 2026. Instead, he’ll wear a number familiar to Red Sox fans. The infielder will take over No. 11 next season. It was last worn by Rafael Devers during his nine years in Boston.
