Rafael Devers's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 0-for-2 with two walks and was hit by a pitch in Friday's 8-6 win over the Angels. Devers was hit in the knuckles by a pitch from Jose Suarez in the sixth inning but was able to stay in the game. Afterward, the 2x All-Star had his hand in a wrap, although the slugger said he'd be fine. Hopefully he will be as it looked like fellow infielder Trevor Story suffered a painful injury Friday that will cause him to miss some time. Devers is 5-for-25 (.200) to start 2024, with a pair of doubles, a home run, two RBI, three runs scored, and a 4:4 BB:K. The Red Sox are 6-2 despite the 27-year-old off to a bit of a slow start, but they'll need him to get rolling soon as Jarren Duran and Tyler O'Neill will cool off eventually.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) will be back in the team's starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Devers missed the past two games due to nagging shoulder soreness that has hampered him since Spring Training, but the team never felt like it was serious enough to send him for imaging. Devers went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the Red Sox season opener. His return is a welcomed presence for fantasy managers as he looks to have another 30-homer, 100-RBI season.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) is feeling better and could return to the lineup as soon as Sunday. According to manager Alex Cora, Devers hasn't undergone imaging, but the team is optimistic he will return to the lineup on Sunday. Devers has been dealing with shoulder soreness since spring training. The 27-year-old took swings in the cage on Saturday and is trending in the right direction to suit up on Sunday. He went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, and two RBI in the Opening Day win over the Mariners. Devers is considered day-to-day, as fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday to see if he's in Boston's starting lineup for the series finale.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Devers is dealing with left shoulder soreness and will miss his second consecutive game. The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day, with the series finale on Sunday against Seattle being the next chance he can return to the lineup. Pablo Reyes will start at third base and bat eighth with Devers sidelined. Reys went 1-for-2 with a strikeout in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Mariners. Fantasy managers can avoid using Reyes as a streamer or a DFS option on Saturday's slate.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora called third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) day-to-day after Friday's 1-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Cora says Devers is experiencing shoulder soreness following batting practice, and the team will see how he feels ahead of Saturday's game against Seattle and right-hander Logan Gilbert. The 27-year-old two-time All-Star's status remains up in the air for that one, but he doesn't sound to be facing any kind of extended absence with the issue. Bobby Dalbec took over at the hot corner for the BoSox on Friday, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. He isn't worth adding in any fantasy leagues at the moment, but Devers' absence did allow Tyler O'Neill to move up the two-hole of Boston's lineup, which could amplify his upside for the time being after he went yard from the fifth spot on Opening Day.
