Rafael Devers News
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers cranked his fifth home run of the year in Wednesday's loss to the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays, but it wasn't enough to lift his team to victory. Devers lined one over the wall in center field for a 431-foot solo homer off Rays right-hander Phil Maton in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old All-Star slugger is slashing a robust .281/.383/.488 with five round-trippers and 10 doubles through 32 outings (121 at-bats) as Boston's everyday third baseman this season, but he's not getting the job done for fantasy managers in the RBI department (15) after plating 100 for the BoSox a season ago. Each of Devers' five blasts have come against right-handed pitching in 2024, and he'll get righty Zack Littell in Thursday's series finale against Tampa with a chance to deliver more counting stats.
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (knee) has returned to third base on Saturday against the visiting Chicago Cubs, which has allowed outfielder Masataka Yoshida to return to the lineup as the designated hitter against right-hander Ben Brown. Devers is hitting in the two-hole, while Tanaka is batting sixth for the BoSox. Devers missed five games with a knee injury recently but has been hot at the plate since returning, going 7-for-13 with a homer, double, two RBI and three runs scored in three games. He's a must-start anytime he's active. Tanaka, meanwhile, returns to the fold after missing the last four games, although he has appeared as a pinch-hitter. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter has essentially become a DH only for Boston and is hitting .233 (17-for-73) with two homers and 10 RBI to start the year.
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (knee) isn't comfortable playing the field just yet after his knee injury, according to manager Alex. Cora. However, the skipper said that Devers will likely return to the hot corner on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. Devers missed some time recently with a left knee injury, but he's been the team's designated hitter the last few days. Once the 27-year-old heads back to third base, it will allow outfielder Masataka Yoshida to return to the DH spot for Boston. The left-handed hitter has sat each of the last three games against a right-hander with Devers serving as the DH. Devers has battled a few nagging injuries already in 2024 and is hitting an uncharacteristic .231 (12-for-52) in the early going with three home runs and seven RBI. It's too early to be concerned with Devers.

Last season, Boston Red Sox's third baseman, Rafael Devers, collected 34 doubles and 33 home runs on his way to being the fifth-fastest player ever - in terms of games played - to reach 200 2B and 150 HR. The four other players who did it faster are either in the Hall of Fame or on their way to the Hall. There's no reason to expect anything different in 2024. The 2x All-Star has an FGDC projection of .285-35-102-103-5 with 38 projected doubles, a WOBA of .374, and a wRC+ of 134. While he wasn't an All-Star selection in 2023, he did win the Silver Slugger award in the AL for best offensive third baseman, his second time winning the award. The powerful lefty has been a good player since his debut in 2017 and is only now entering his prime years -; he'll enter the 2024 season at age 27. 31-year-old Jose Ramirez's ability to steal bases inflates his price tag, with an NFBC ADP of 14. Still, Devers is more appropriately priced with an NFBC ADP of 26 and offers similar production to Austin Riley, who is going five picks earlier.
