Dominic Smith

That's encouraging news. Casas has missed more than three months with torn rib cartilage. The Red Sox currently have Dominic Smith and Romy Gonzalez platooning at first base.

It's the 22nd homer of the season, and it was a solo shot off Seth Lugo to give Boston a 5-0 lead. The 27-year-old also scored a run in the third on a two-run single by Dominic Smith. Devers has been fantastic in the first half of the season with the aforementioned homers, .960 OPS and 59 RBI.

Both RBI for Smith came in the third, as he hit a two-run single off a surprisingly ineffective Seth Lugo to extend Boston's lead to 4-0. The former top prospect has not been terribly effective thus far, as this solid day still ha his slash at .226/.315/.345 with one game left before the All-Star break.

Hamilton will start at second base and hit second, which is typical for him against righties. Wilyer Abreu and Dominic Smith are also back in the lineup after sitting out on Wednesday against a left-handed pitcher.
