Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (tooth) was held out of Saturday's starting lineup versus the New York Yankees. The 23-year-old was scratched from the starting lineup due to a tooth infection. Manager Alex Cora mentioned Casas had to go to a local hospital to have the tooth drained. That being said, it sounds like Casas won't be suiting up for Sunday's contest either. That being said, the organization is hopeful that Casas is back in the lineup on Monday. Fantasy managers should consider Casas as day-to-day right now.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (tooth) was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the division-rival New York Yankees with a tooth infection. With Casas' mouth hurting, Justin Turner will take over at first base and will bat third in the order against Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole. Adam Duvall is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth. We don't expect the 23-year-old Casas to be out long, and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. In his first full season in the big leagues, Casas is slashing .253/.353/.483 with an .836 OPS, 20 home runs, 16 doubles, two triples, 48 RBI and 54 runs scored in 109 games played. He's gone 13-for-53 (.245) with four long balls, eight RBI and eight runs scored in 16 starts so far in August.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas continued to stay on fire at the plate during Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. He kicked off the high-scoring affair by taking left-hander Patrick Corbin deep in the third inning. This blast notched Casas' 20th round tripper of the season. The 23-year-old has been nearly unstoppable at the plate since the All-Star break. He's slashing .337/.427/.726 with 11 homers and 21 RBI across 30 games since the break. Fantasy managers should continue to ride out this hot streak and keep Casas in their lineups.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Saturday's 8-6 win over the New York Mets. The 23-year-old took Max Scherzer deep twice in this one, leading off the second inning with a homer before crushing another long ball in the sixth frame. It was Casas' first multi-HR game of his career. The former first-round pick is on a heater right now, hitting safely in nine of his last 10 outings while batting .433 with five big flies and eight RBI in 30 at-bats during this period. Casas is also slashing an impressive .319/.413/.622 with eight blasts and 19 RBI in 119 ABs over his prior 37 contests. Fantasy managers who need help in the power department should consider adding the 2022 No. 2 Boston prospect while he's still available in about three-quarters of Yahoo leagues.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas finished 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The 23-year-old hasn't garnered much fantasy attention after a promising end to 2022. However, Casas is now hitting .353 with two homers and eight RBI over his last 34 at-bats. The rookie hasn't paid off for those who took a flier on him in spring drafts, but he's beginning to heat up nonetheless. Casas is slashing .221/.332/.406 with nine homers and 27 RBI over 217 at-bats this season. Boston's No. 2 prospect from 2022 still carries plenty of upside, so he's worth a look if fantasy managers can tolerate the low average.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is back in the starting lineup Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Hunter Greene. Casas didn't get the starting nod against another right-hander in Luke Weaver Wednesday night but will get a crack at Greene on Thursday night. The 23-year-old is still hitting under the Mendoza Line with a .193 batting average on the season along with six homers in 47 contests. The youngster's power has more or less been as advertised in his young big-league career with a solid .181 isolated power but he's a career .195 hitter in 74 big-league games. He'll hit seventh and play first base Thursday evening.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is not in Wednesday's starting lineup against the Seattle Mariners and left-hander Marco Gonzales. It's no surprise to see the lefty-swinging youngster out of the starting lineup against a left-handed starter, despite actually producing better figures against same-handed pitching than he has against righties to this point in the season. Nonetheless, Casas continues to hit below the Mendoza Line with a .189 batting average on the season, but a strong .198 isolated power and elite 16.9% walk rate has at least kept him afloat with a palatable .711 OPS on the campaign. Justin Turner takes over at first base and will hit second Wednesday against the Mariners at Fenway Park.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. It's not a terribly big surprise to see the lefty-swinging youngster get the night off against a left-handed pitcher but it's certainly been a struggle for the 23-year-old so far this season. Casas is hitting a measly .128 with three home runs and a .563 OPS across 96 trips to the plate. While he's flashed some pop in his young big-league tenure, Casas is hitting just .162 across 53 games since debuting in the 2022 campaign and didn't hit for a ton of average throughout his minor-league tenure, either. Justin Turner will take over at first base and hit second against Kikuchi Tuesday night.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The left-handed slugger received a pair of rest days in order to help him get out of his slump. Casas has struggled heavily during the first month of the season. He's slashing .133/.283/.293 with three home runs and eight RBI in 25 games. The 23-year-old does have plenty of potential, but he'll need to show some plate discipline if he wants to truly succeed at the big league level. On Monday, Casas will cover first base and bat seventh versus right-hander Jose Berrios.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora met with first baseman Triston Casas to tell him that he has made the Opening Day roster. There was never really much doubt that Casas wouldn't break camp with the big-league team this year, but now it's official. He has impressed in Grapefruit League play by hitting .360 (18-for-50) with five doubles, three home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs scored in 17 games played. Casas played in 27 games last year in his MLB debut and hit just .197 (15-for-76) with five home runs, 12 RBI and 23 strikeouts in 95 plate appearances. The 26-year-old left-handed hitter has some intriguing raw power that should play well at Fenway Park, but he also strikes out a lot, so there will be growing pains in his first full major-league season.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo could share the leadoff duties with first baseman Triston Casas versus right-handers this season. Manager Alex Cora said that duo would platoon the spot with second baseman Christian Arroyo and outfielder Kike Hernandez, who could split leadoff duties against left-handers. Cora previously mentioned that Verdugo and Hernandez could run more this season, and leading off will also help them in the run department. Casas had a .358 on-base percentage in 27 games last season, so he also makes some sense as a leadoff hitter. It sounds like there will be some fluctuation, but leadoff is always an ideal spot to hit, especially with Rafael Devers in your lineup.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (finger) is back in Thursday's Grapefruit League lineup against right-hander Duane Underwood Jr. and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Casas is starting at first base and is hitting second in the batting order. Casas spent a couple days on the bench in spring action due to left fifth finger pain, but he's back in there now and should be the team's starting first baseman on Opening Day on March 30. The 23-year-old left-handed slugger is hitting a strong .341 (14-for-41) with three doubles, two home runs, seven RBI, nine runs scored and 11 strikeouts in 15 spring games to this point. Fantasy managers probably won't get much in the way of a high average from Casas, but the power potential is very intriguing.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (finger) was scratched from Tuesday's Grapefruit League game with left fifth finger pain and is considered day-to-day. The injury isn't too serious, and the Red Sox expect Casas to return to spring action in a day or two. Fantasy managers won't need to worry about the 23-year-old not being ready for Opening Day at the end of March. The young first baseman is having a great spring, hitting .341 (14-for-41) with three doubles, two home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored in 15 Grapefruit League games. Casas will be Boston's primary first baseman in 2023, and the 6-foot-4, 252-pounder and has huge raw power, which will play well at Fenway Park.

Boston Red Sox first base prospect Triston Casas continued to hit in Tuesday's 10-2 Grapefruit League win over the Braves. The 23-year-old went 2-for-3 with a single, a double, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout. He is now batting .444 with two home runs in 18 spring at-bats. Casas is Boston's top-ranked prospect and enters the 2023 season poised to be their everyday first baseman. He only slashed .197/.358/.408 in his first 95 plate appearances with the Red Sox last season, but he slashed an impressive .273/.382/.481 with 11 home runs and 38 RBI in 317 plate appearances with Triple-A Worcester. Casas remains a top fantasy name in dynasty leagues and also could prove to be a useful pick this season in mixed leagues if he can tap into his power potential.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in Tuesday's Grapefruit League win over the Miami Marlins. The most notable was the fact that all of his damage came against left-handed pitching in this spring game. The 23-year-old enters the 2023 season as Boston's top-ranked prospect, and he should be their everyday first baseman. The 6-foot-4, 252-pounder hit just .197/.358/.408 with a .766 OPS, five home runs and 12 RBI in his first 27 major-league games in 2022, but he has the potential to be the American League's Rookie of the Year this season if he plays up to his potential. Casas has plenty of raw power to all fields.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is viewed by the organization as a big piece of what Boston hopes is their next evolution, as he's currently Baseball America's No. 29-ranked prospect in the sport. Casas hit just .197 in his first 27 major-league games in 2022, but it's clear that the Red Sox want him to be part of their future. According to Casas, he hasn't had any extension talks with the team, but he wouldn't mind approaching that subject. General manager Chaim Bloom isn't a stranger to early extensions from his days in the Tampa Bay Rays organization. The 23-year-old youngster is in line to be the team's regular first baseman in 2023 after Boston parted ways with Eric Hosmer this offseason.

The Miami Marlins have discussed a potential trade with the Boston Red Sox involving first baseman Triston Casas, per the Miami Herald's Craig Mish and Barry Jackson. Per Mish and Jackson, the Marlins are willing to move one starting pitcher this offseason in order to bolster their lineup. However, the Red Sox have so far rejected all offers. Casas is one of baseball's top prospects and boasts elite power potential. The 22-year-old slashed .273/.382/.481 with 11 home runs and 38 RBI in 317 plate appearances in 2022 with Triple-A Worcester and .197/.358/.408 with five HR and 12 RBI in 95 plate appearances with the Red Sox. The Marlins may need to include several hitters to complete a deal, and the Athletic's Chad Jennings has reported that the Red Sox have interest in second/third baseman Joey Wendle.

The Boston Red Sox had a show of faith for infielder Triston Casas to start at first base on Opening Day in 2023 after they designated veteran Eric Hosmer for assignment on Friday. Casas made his debut with Boston last year and hit .197/.358/.408 with five home runs, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and a stolen base in only 95 plate appearances over 27 games played. The 22-year-old suffered a knee injury while playing winter ball, but he's fully expected to be ready for spring training and the start of the regular season. MLB Pipeline has Casas ranked as Boston's No. 2 prospect, behind only shortstop Marcelo Mayer. In 72 games at Triple-A Worcester in 2022, Casas slashed .273/.382/.481 with an .863 OPS, 11 home runs, 38 RBI and 45 runs scored in 317 plate appearances.
