Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (knee) will be sitting out of Sunday's series finale against the Chicago White Sox as a precaution since he left Saturday's game early with left knee soreness. Manager Alex Cora told the media that Devers is experiencing soreness in the same knee that caused him to be sidelined for a week back in April. As of now, this injury does not seem serious at all, and Boston is choosing to be cautious with their superstar third baseman. As a result, Emmanuel Valdez is likely to man the hot corner on Sunday and could be a sneaky play in DFS as he will face right-hander Chris Flexen, who enters Sunday with a hefty 5.19 ERA.
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers pitched in four hits, two RBI singles, and one run scored in an 8-3 victory against the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday night. Devers is one of many hot hitters who probably doesn't want to see the calendar flip to June. With only a few days left in May, the power-hitting lefty is slashing .295/.358/.611 with seven of his ten home runs and 19 RBI. Not only that, his current .380 OBP, if sustained, would be a career-high for the eight-year veteran. Devers brings a balance of power, batting average, and run-producing ability that would make any fantasy manager happy to roster him.
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers continued his torrid power streak in Monday's 5-0 win over the Rays. Devers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a strikeout. The 27-year-old has really picked things up at the plate lately after a slow offensive start and has now homered in each of his last six games, bringing his season total to 10 to go with 23 RBI and a .284/.380/.567 slash line. The Red Sox offense has started to heat up overall, which is a doubly welcome sight for fantasy managers, as it will provide opportunities for additional counting stats for Devers.
