Red Sox's Triston Casas: Idle versus lefty

Casas isn't in Boston's lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

The lefty-hitting Casas will sit down to begin Thursday's series opener as southpaw Nestor Cortes slated to toe the slab for New York. Connor Wong will fill the void at first base while Danny Jansen starts behind the plate and bats eighth.
