More time at first base Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Turner will get more playing time at first base, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports. Impact Cora reshuffled the infield, which has become a mess. Enrique Hernandez will play less shortstop and Triston Casas, who failed to pick a throw in the dirt and committed a critical error in Monday's loss, will cede starts at first base to Turner. That began Tuesday, when Turner made his 41st start at first base over his 15-year career. It's not an ideal situation, as there's potential for wear and tear playing the field. The 38-year-old Turner was hired primarily to be Boston's designated hitter.
