Rafael Devers DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has been off to a slow start to begin the season. The power numbers haven't been there for Devers, but he was able to do some damage on Saturday. Devers opened the scoring with a three-run home run in the fifth inning. He didn't do much the rest of the game as he finished 1-for-4 with 3 RBI and a walk in the 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Devers is currently hitting under .230, but he does carry a four-game hit streak into Sunday's contest. Fantasy managers should continue to stick with Devers through this slump.

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers delivered a monster afternoon for the Red Sox on Sunday during their doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals. In game one of the afternoon, he ripped his first home run of the year in the fifth inning of right-hander Andre Pallante to give the Red Sox a one-run lead, and drew a game-tying walk in the ninth inning to send the game to extra innings to help the Red Sox win game one 5-4. In game one, Devers went 1-for-4 with two RBI and one run. Since the 0-for-19 start to his season, Devers has boosted his slash line to .263/.404/.421 and has put to rest any concerns about his role being switched to designated hitter. He will look to stay hot as the Red Sox host the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday for a four-game series.

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers has been in a horrible slump to begin the season. He was hitless coming into Wednesday's game. Devers also became the first player in MLB history to strike out at the plate 15 times over the first five games of the season. Devers finally delivered at the plate with a run-scoring double in the fifth inning. He'd finish his day with two hits and an RBI in what ended up being a 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Devers is too talented at the plate to continue being in this slump for too long. Hopefully fantasy managers will get many more two-hit performances from Devers soon.
