The countdown for Triston Casas’s return to the Red Sox’ lineup is underway.
Casas is seeking to be back in the lineup by the Red Sox’ series against the Marlins, which begins July 2. The first baseman has also begun swinging the bat again after suffering a rib injury in April, he told The Boston Globe‘s Julian McWilliams.
“I’m not making contact with the ball yet,” Casas said. “The force of the ball is powerful, for sure. So we’re making sure that I come in a couple of days in a row consecutively after swinging without any soreness or any blowback before I start making contact.
