Manager Chad Tracy announced in July that Casas had been shut down to an injured wrist, per Cotillo.
“He’s gone through a lot, between the knee, then he had a little hamstring flareup, obviously the oblique and he’s come back from that and now there’s a wrist that’s popped up,” Tracy said. “We’ll keep an eye and once he’s able to, keep progressing.”
