Player Outlook
Triston Casas struggled early, posting a miserable .184/.300/.342 line over his first 49 games. The club stuck with the youngster as they liked his approach, and his average exit velocity and hard-hit rate portended better outcomes. Sure enough, Casas went .307/.404/.570 the rest of the way, though his season ended prematurely in mid-September with right shoulder inflammation. Casas' average exit velocity dropped half a tick over the second half, but his hard-hit rate increased six points, fueling a BABIP increase from .229 to .362. Part of Casas' improvement was embracing the pitch clock by meticulously following the same routine for every pitch, and frequently using his timeout when he was behind in the count. Casas is below average defensively, but improved over the course of the season and has the work ethic to keep getting better. Casas will be hard-pressed to match last season's second half over a full season, but he has a solid chance to improve on the year as a whole.

  • Red Sox's Triston Casas: Takes lefty deep

    Casas went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's spring game against the Yankees. Casas got hold of a Carlos Rodon slider and sent it 421 feet at 109.1 mph. That the blast came off a lefty pitcher is significant, as Casas slashed just .215/.361/.456 against southpaws in 2023. This season, with Justin Turner gone, Casas could get more starts against lefties. The Red Sox have right-handed batters C.J. Cron and Bobby Dalbec competing to back up Casas, and either one could steal those starts if the lefty struggles continue. Casas is 3-for-23 with five walks through nine Grapefruit League games, including 1-for-6 against southpaws.

  • Red Sox's Triston Casas: Likely done for season

    Casas (shoulder) is unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the season, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports. Casas is still undergoing tests on his injured right shoulder, but with the Red Sox out of the playoff hunt, the team isn't incentivized to rush him back. The 23-year-old first baseman established himself as a core piece of the Red Sox's long-term plans after finishing his first full season in the big leagues with a .263 batting average, 24 home runs, 65 RBI and 66 runs in 132 games. Justin Turner and Bobby Dalbec are likely to share work at first base the rest of the way while Casas is on the shelf.

  • Red Sox's Triston Casas: Scratched again Saturday

    Casas (shoulder) was scratched from the lineup for the second consecutive day Saturday against the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Casas had been set to return from a shoulder issue after just a one-game absence, but the team has decided he needs more time to heal. Given that the Red Sox have seemingly folded their hand for the season, as they 7.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot and recently fired top executive Chaim Bloom, it makes sense that they'd err on the side of caution with their young slugger. Justin Turner moves to first base in Casas' absence, with Masataka Yoshida moving to designated hitter, Adam Duvall sliding to Yoshida's spot in left field and Wilyer Abreu entering the lineup as the center fielder.

  • Red Sox's Triston Casas: Out with sore shoulder

    Casas was scratched from the lineup Friday at Toronto due to right shoulder soreness, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Casas may have tweaked his shoulder at some point during Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees, but the issue is not considered serious and he should be viewed as day-to-day leading into the remainder of Boston's weekend series versus the Blue Jays. Justin Turner is starting at first base Friday as Masataka Yoshida fills the DH role, while Ceddanne Rafaela enters the lineup in center field and hits leadoff.

    Casas is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt in Houston, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
