Rafael Devers DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers was locked in at the plate in Game 1 of a scheduled doubleheader on Friday at Fenway Park against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles in a 19-5 blowout victory. Devers went 4-for-6 in the contest with two home runs, three runs scored and eight RBI. The 28-year-old's eight RBI in the ball game was a career-high. His first homer was a three-run shot in the sixth inning off reliever Gregory Soto before clubbing a grand slam off position player Emmanuel Rivera in the eighth frame in an inning where Boston put up a whopping 13 runs. Devers has taken well to a full-time DH role so far in 2025 and now leads all of baseball with 47 RBI after driving in eight on Friday. He is now slashing .299/.415/.557 with 12 home runs and 34 runs scored in 52 games for the BoSox. The second game of Friday's doubleheader was rained out, so Devers wasn't able to add to his already massive day.

The home run was his ninth of the season as he is on fire lately, slashing .348/.444/.696 over his last seven days. He also raised his slash line to .289/.404/.517 for the season and has quickly made fantasy managers forget about his slow start to his 2025 campaign.

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in his team's 7-6 walk-off win against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old singled, doubled, scored twice, and drew a walk. Devers struck out in the bottom of the first inning, but that was the last time Atlanta would keep him off base. He knocked in his first run with an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh off Braves reliever Aaron Bummer, and scored one batter later when teammate Alex Bregman doubled him home, cutting the deficit to 6-4. Then, in the bottom of the ninth, Devers sent a hanging Pierce Johnson curveball 402 feet over the right-field wall to walk it off. It was his eighth homer, and the three-hit performance has brought him up to an excellent .284 average and .402 OBP (.896 OPS). He sure has put the early-season slump behind him.
