Triston Casas is continuing to progress in his recovery from a torn cartilage in his ribcage, and Monday the Red Sox first baseman underwent an MRI to see how the injury is healing.

“He had an MRI today just to see where we’re at,” manager Alex Cora said. “We don’t have the results yet but he says he’s feeling better.”

Casas, who last played April 20 against Pittsburgh, is targeting next week’s series in Miami for a return. Casas is from South Florida and attended high school about a half hour’s drive from the Marlins’ loanDepot Park.

Prior to his injury Casas was enjoying a strong start to his second full season in the big leagues. The 24-year-old was batting .244 with six home runs, 10 RBI and an .857 OPS in 22 games.

Casas’ return would provide a significant boost to the Red Sox lineup, which has already enjoyed significant reinforcements as Masataka Yoshida, Wilyer Abreu and Romy Gonzalez have each returned from the injured list over the past two weeks.

The last remaining injured position player of note who is expected back this season, infielder Vaughn Grissom (right hamstring strain), is also trending towards a return. Cora said Monday that the second baseman is running and feeling better, though he’s still not ready to begin a rehab assignment.
