Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) will likely sit out Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Devers has missed the last two games due to left shoulder soreness. The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day, with his next chance of returning to the lineup being the series finale against Los Angeles on Sunday. Devers is expected to avoid the injured list. He is slashing .184/.326/.395 with two home runs, three RBI, and five runs across 10 games in 2024. Bobby Dalbec batted fifth and started at third base for Devers in Friday's 7-0 loss to the Angeles. The 28-year-old is likely to handle third base for Boston and see an uptick in at-bats while Devers is sidelined. Dalbec has yet to log a hit in seven games this season and can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) is considered as day-to-day, but will hopefully avoid a trip to the injured list. The good news is that Devers should only need a few more days of rest before returning to the lineup. He'll likely miss the upcoming three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels, but fantasy managers will take that over a trip to the 15-day injured list. Manager Alex Cora said Devers is likely to need additional days of rest, so don't expect him to be in Friday's lineup.

It sounds as though Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) will need at least another day off on Friday for the start of a series against the Los Angeles Angels. Meanwhile, manager Alex Cora said that infielder Romy Gonzalez (wrist) avoided a fracture after injuring his wrist on Wednesday. The 27-year-old Devers still has soreness in his left shoulder and could require an injured-list stint if he doesn't improve over the weekend. Fantasy managers need to prepare for that possibility and keep him out of your lineups again on Friday after he sat out Thursday's loss to Baltimore. Pablo Reyes got the start at third base on Thursday and is likely to fill in there for as long as Devers is out. Devers does have two homers but has just seven hits overall in his first 46 plate appearances this year.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) is still battling left-shoulder soreness, which is why he was given the day off on Thursday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. With Devers resting, Pablo Reyes is starting at the hot corner and is hitting in the nine-hole against Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez. Devers should be considered day-to-day for now, but hopefully giving him some rest will help him avoid a trip to the injured list. Fantasy baseball managers will want to check back on Friday to see if Devers is back in there for the start of a series against the Los Angeles Angels. The two-time All-Star is off to a slow start in his first 10 games, going 7-for-38 (.184) with two home runs, three RBI and five runs scored in 46 plate appearances.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Grayson Rodriguez. Pablo Reyes will handle duties at the hot corner and hit ninth for the Sox. The 27-year-old isn't off to a great start as he's hitting just .184 through his first 10 games but he does have two homers and two doubles while his 15.2% BB% exceeds his 13% K%. He's also been held back by a tiny .167 BABIP and his .366 xwOBA ranks in the league's 84th percentile, as per Statcast. In other words, fantasy managers have little to worry about as Devers will rebound given his career .279 average and .851 OPS.

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.

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.

The 27-year-old is coming off an impressive Grapefruit League and remains one of the most talented hitters in all of baseball. It seems like he has been around forever, but he is still just entering his prime and that's scary to think about. With his ability to help pretty much everywhere but the speed department, Devers should easily be a top-20 player in 2024.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 1-for-2 with a solo home run on Tuesday versus the Texas Rangers to close out Spring Training. His home run would be his fifth this spring and 11th RBI to go along with a stellar .380 batting average. Devers has been one of the best players in the league throughout his career and is still just entering his prime at age 27. He remains a top-20 player in mixed leagues. One of the safest picks on a yearly basis, managers should have zero hesitation about drafting Devers in upcoming drafts.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers hit his third home run of the spring in an 8-5 Grapefruit League win over the Twins on Friday. The majestic blast left JetBlue Park, traveling over the stands in right field. The lefty was 2-for-4 on the day with two RBI and a run scored. That brings his spring line to 9-for-28 (.321) with two doubles, three home runs, seven RBI, seven runs scored, and a 4:9 BB:K. Right now the 2x All-Star is going off draft boards around pick 24 overall, slightly behind his RotoBaller rank of 20.

The 27-year-old is coming off another excellent season in which he slashed .271/.351/.500 with 33 home runs, 90 runs scored, 100 RBI, and five steals. Devers should be a top fantasy option and four-category contributor even if the Red Sox lineup does not bounce back from its overall disappointing 2023.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Tyler Glasnow. The all-world third baseman has been in a funk of late, recording just a pair of singles and two runs scored to account for all of his damage over his last six games and 23 trips to the plate. He has also drawn just two walks against eight strikeouts in that time, including three punchouts in an 0-for-5 effort on Tuesday. For the season, Devers has still raked to the tune of a .272 average with 33 home runs, four stolen bases, and an .857 OPS across 149 appearances. Bobby Dalbec will take over at third base and hit seventh against Glasnow at Fenway Park on Wednesday night.

It's great news for the Red Sox and Devers' fantasy managers, and he can be considered day-to-day for now. Check back later to see if he's in the team's starting lineup against Houston. When he's on the field, the 26-year-old Dominican is a must-start in fantasy lineups. He's currently hitting .272/.347/.516 with an .863 OPS, 29 home runs, 88 RBI and 74 runs scored in 471 at-bats this year.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (wrist) will undergo X-rays later on Sunday on his right wrist after he was scratched from the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to manager Alex Cora. For now, the Red Sox are considering Devers to be day-to-day, but we'll have a better idea of how long he might be out once the results of his X-rays come back.

Luis Urias will slide to third base and hit ninth while Pablo Reyes (elbow) will fight through an elbow issue to cover second base and bat sixth in this one. The 26-year-old Devers was hit by a pitch on his right wrist during Saturday's affair, so he still seems to be in enough pain to require a maintenance day. Boston is right back in action on Monday for the start of a three-game set with the Houston Astros, so that will be Devers' next chance to return to the lineup. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the status of the two-time All-Star, who is hitting .272 with an .863 OPS, 29 home runs, 28 doubles, and 88 RBI in 471 at-bats this year.
