Triston Casas Getting A Breather Wednesday
1 year agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is not in Wednesday's starting lineup against the Seattle Mariners and left-hander Marco Gonzales. It's no surprise to see the lefty-swinging youngster out of the starting lineup against a left-handed starter, despite actually producing better figures against same-handed pitching than he has against righties to this point in the season. Nonetheless, Casas continues to hit below the Mendoza Line with a .189 batting average on the season, but a strong .198 isolated power and elite 16.9% walk rate has at least kept him afloat with a palatable .711 OPS on the campaign. Justin Turner takes over at first base and will hit second Wednesday against the Mariners at Fenway Park.
