Casas (shoulder) is unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the season, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Casas is still undergoing tests on his injured right shoulder, but with the Red Sox out of the playoff hunt, the team isn't incentivized to rush him back. The 23-year-old first baseman established himself as a core piece of the Red Sox's long-term plans after finishing his first full season in the big leagues with a .263 batting average, 24 home runs, 65 RBI and 66 runs in 132 games. Justin Turner and Bobby Dalbec are likely to share work at first base the rest of the way while Casas is on the shelf.
