Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Position switch being discussed
The Boston Red Sox have had internal discussions about moving Rafael Devers off third base, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.Devers battled through lingering issues with both shoulders during the 2024 season and again graded out poorly defensively at third base with a minus-six Outs Above Average rating. If the Red Sox do ultimately decide to shift him away from the hot corner, they would likely have both Devers and Triston Casas bounce back-and-forth between first base and designated hitter. Third base would then be filled by a free agent or trade acquisition, with Boston being connected to Alex Bregman, Willy Adames and Nolan Arenado. Finding a taker for Masataka Yoshida's contract is also part of the equation.

Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Likely done for season
Manager Alex Cora said that Rafael Devers injured his right shoulder Friday and will most likely be shut down for the remainder of the season, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.Cora added that Devers suffered the injury while taking swings in a cage right before Friday's game versus Minnesota, per Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Despite his bad shoulder, the 27-year-old still played Friday, going 1-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts before being replaced in the infield by Vaughn Grissom in the 11th inning. Devers is slated to receive an MRI on Saturday, though it seems he won't play another game in 2024 no matter what the results are. He'll finish the season with a .272/.354/.516 slash line alongside 28 home runs and 83 RBI, and Nick Sogard could take over as Boston's primary third baseman for the final eight games of the season.

Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Frustrates Yankees on Saturday
Rafael Devers went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Yankees. He was also hit by a pitch.He was plunked by the second pitch he saw from Gerrit Cole, a suspicious occurrence given Devers' long track record of success against the right-hander, but it was Cole's intentional walk of the Boston star with the bases empty in the fourth inning that sparked both his bat, and the team's offense as a whole, to life. Saturday's performance snapped an eight-game RBI drought for the 27-year-old, and on the season Devers is slashing .278/.360/.531 with 28 homers, three steals, 83 RBI and 86 runs.

Rafael Devers went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the White Sox.Devers, who hit out of the second spot in the order behind Jarren Duran for a third consecutive game, doubled and scored a run as part of Boston's four-run first inning. That was a response to the White Sox taking a 2-0 lead in the top half of the frame. "We hit the ball hard," Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora told Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic following the game. "The two lefties (Duran and Devers), we're going to run with that from now on, it doesn't matter, I just feel comfortable with them."
