Triston Casas is nearing a return to the lineup, but he’s still not there yet, according to Alex Cora’s latest update Saturday.
The Red Sox manager spoke highly of Casas’s rehab progress, but noted that he’s still dry swinging. Less than two weeks ago, Casas revealed his internal target date to return was July 2, which is this Tuesday. But, considering he isn’t taking live batting practice, it seems he won’t be ready by then.
“He obviously has general soreness. I think he’s going to do his stuff inside,” Cora said of Casas following his swing session Saturday.
