Out of Sunday's lineup Casas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Eventful day in loss Casas went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Casas gave the Red Sox a brief 3-2 lead in the top of the sixth inning when he homered off a tiring Lance Lynn's 99th pitch. He later couldn't make a clean play in the ninth -- a 102.9 mph ground ball from Gavin Sheets -- that resulted in Chicago's winning run. The play was initially ruled an error but changed to a single following the game. It took a tough hop, but both he and manager Alex Cora acknowledged it's a play he should have made, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. Casas entered the game with a negative-6 defensive runs saved entering Saturday, and earlier this month, Cora talked about a need for the first baseman to be better in the field. The miscue is unlikely to cost Casas his regular role in the lineup, but the Red Sox called up Bobby Dalbec this week, and he could give Casas an occasional break.

Impact Casas made a couple of fielding miscues during Monday's loss, prompting the manager to say "he needs to be better." The 38-year-old Turner started at first Monday and demonstrated a lack of familiarity with the position -- he's played there 41 times during a 15-year career -- during the ninth inning when he failed to catch a low throw. Casas, who showed good fielding skills during a September 2022 callup, has gone backwards in 2023.
