TRISTON CASAS NEWS

Sits against southpaw Casas will be on the bench Saturday against lefty Bailey Falter and the Phillies, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Casas started against five of the first eight lefties the Red Sox faced, but he's now been on the bench against each of the last five. He's failed to make much of an impact at the plate at the start of his first full season, hitting .156/.291/.289, though a .186 BABIP deserves at least some of the blame for that. Justin Turner will be the first baseman Saturday, with Rob Refsnyder taking Turner's usual spot at designated hitter.

Breaks cold spell with three hits Casas went 3-for-5 with a run and two RBI in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Casas came into the contest mired in a prolonged slump during which he batted .098 (5-for-51) over 17 games. The first baseman showed some signs of progress against Toronto, producing his first three-hit game of the campaign and his first multi-hit effort since April 9. Casas has been losing playing time of late and is still slashing just .157/.297/.301 on the season, so he has some work to do to become a viable fantasy option.

Sits against southpaw Casas will hit the bench Saturday against lefty Wade Miley and the Brewers.

Impact Casas appears to have something halfway between a platoon role and an everyday job this season. He's started against all 12 righties the Red Sox have faced, but his off day Saturday means he's been on the bench against five out of 10 southpaws thus far. Given that he's hitting just .136/.268/.288 overall, a sudden uptick in playing time doesn't seem to be in the cards. Justin Turner will play first base in his absence, with Masataka Yoshida resting his legs as the designated hitter and Rob Refsnyder entering the lineup in left field.
