Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Joins elite company
Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to the Yankees in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. He did not start the nightcap but walked as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning of a 4-1 loss.
Devers led off the fourth inning with his 30th home run and snapped a 19-game drought without going deep. With the homer, Devers entered an elite club in franchise history with three 30-homer seasons before the age of 27. He joined Hall of Famers Jim Rice and Ted Williams in that achievement.

Chapman (finger) hopes to return later this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
He went through a full day of workouts, including making throws in the infield and hitting off a velocity machine. For weeks, he'd only been fielding groundballs, so advancing to making throws is a big step. In the meantime, Cavan Biggio and Santiago Espinal have been platooning at third base.
