Almost three months into the baseball season and Red Sox manager Alex Cora has been forced to change things up in the infield to help the team be better defensively and not give up as many games as they have this season.The shake-up includes Kiké Hernández not getting everyday reps at shortstop and Justin Turner increasing the amount of time he spends on first base, which would leave Triston Casas as the odd man out, but Cora doesn't plan to send Casas to Triple-A - the plan is to make Casas a better first baseman, according to The Athletic's Chad Jennings.
