Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas will be away from the team for a few days because of illness, manager Alex Cora said.
"He's sick. He has the flu," Cora told reporters Sunday in Fort Myers, Florida. "He's gonna be out of the facility for two or three days. He has a net, a tee, bats, balls. He might be in Miami right now swinging."
Casas, 24, was not at the spring training facility Saturday and Sunday. He batted .263 with 24 home runs, 21 doubles and 65 RBIs in 429 at-bats over 132 games in his first full season.
