TRISTON CASAS NEWS

Batting sixth again Monday Casas is starting at first base and batting sixth for the Red Sox in Monday's game versus the Pirates.

Impact Manager Alex Cora intimated before the season that both Casas and Alex Verdugo would get a look in the leadoff spot against right-handers, but it's been Verdugo there in all three games versus righties while Casas settles into the six spot. In the team's lone contest against a lefty, Rob Refsnyder led off, Verdugo batted sixth and Casas was on the bench. Verdugo is off to a much better start than Casas, so it's not terribly surprising Cora hasn't switched things up yet.

Idle versus lefty Casas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact With the Red Sox facing a lefty starting pitcher (Cole Irvin) in the series finale, the lefty-hitting Casas will get his first breather of the season. Justin Turner checks in at first base in place of Casas, who went hitless in five at-bats over his first two starts but drew two walks and drove in two runs.

Knocks in two without hit Casas went 0-for-2 with a walk and two RBI in Thursday's 10-9 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Casas had a pair of productive outs -- a groundout and sacrifice fly -- as Boston's starting first baseman. The 23-year-old is expected to be the primary first baseman, meaning he'll start against both lefties and righties.

Books spot on Opening Day roster Red Sox manager Alex Cora met with Casas on Sunday and informed the first baseman that he's made the Opening Day roster, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Heading into spring training, Casas was always viewed as a likely candidate to break camp with the big club, and a strong Grapefruit League solidified his standing with the big club. The 23-year-old enters Sunday's game against the Twins with a .360/.400/.640 slash line and three homers over 50 plate appearances in 17 games. Casas will have some growing pains in his first full season with the Red Sox, but the left-handed hitting first baseman offers significant offensive upside for 2023 and beyond.

Hits walkoff homer vs. ATL Casas hit a walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth to give the Red Sox a 9-8 win over Atlanta in Friday's Grapefruit League game.

Impact Casas smoked a two-run homer off Joe Harvey to give the Red Sox the victory. The 23-year-old has blasted three homers so far in the Grapefruit League, and he's also hitting .360 to show he's more than just a power threat at the plate. Casas is expected to have an everyday role for Boston, and while there may be some ups and downs in his first full season, he offers significant offensive upside.

Will get starts at leadoff vs. RHP Casas and Alex Verdugo will be the preferred options in the leadoff spot against right-handed pitching, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told Ian Browne of MLB.com on Friday.

Impact Cora will use Enrique Hernandez and Christian Arroyo at leadoff versus left-handers as he mixes and matches at the top of the batting order. Casas would have more pop than most leadoff hitters, but his excellent batting eye makes him a fit. He's reached base at a .400 clip this spring while slugging a couple dingers.

Back in lineup Thursday Casas (finger) is in the lineup for Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, Casas will return Thursday after missing a couple days with left fifth finger pain. The swing-and-miss in Casas' game has been prevalent this spring (11 strikeouts in 41 at-bats), but he's done damage when he's put bat to ball with five extra-base hits in exhibition play. The 23-year-old is primed to begin the season as Boston's primary first baseman.
