Triston Casas Scratched With Tooth Infection
1 year agoBoston 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.
