Red Sox minor league first baseman Triston Casas and utility player Jack Lopez were named on Friday to the United States baseball team’s 24-man roster for the Olympics.
Darren Fenster, the Red Sox’ minor league outfield and base running coach, will serve as the third base coach for Team USA.
However, Jarren Duran, who is expected to make his major league debut at some point this season, was not on the roster for Tokyo even though he helped the US qualify for the Olympics in June.
According to a major league source, the decision not to include Duran on the team was from the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
