Sat Mar 1610:23Rafael Devers Blasts Third Spring Homer Friday
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.

Tue Feb 2700:10Rafael Devers Homers In Spring Debut Sunday
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers started his spring on the right foot Sunday, going 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk in an 8-6 Grapefruit League win over the Twins. 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.

Wed Sep 27 202314:20Rafael Devers On The Bench Wednesday
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.

Mon Aug 28 202315:47Rafael Devers Back In Monday's Lineup
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (wrist) is back at third base and is hitting in the two-hole on Monday against the visiting Houston Astros and right-hander Cristian Javier. Devers was hit by a pitch on his right wrist on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and sat out of the series finale on Sunday, but X-rays came back negative for any structural damage and he'll be back in the lineup to begin the week for fantasy managers. Get him back into all starting lineups. The 26-year-old Dominican is batting .272 (128-for-471) on the year with 29 home runs, 88 RBI and 74 runs scored. In nine career at-bats against Javier, Devers is batting .222 with a home run and two RBI. In the month of August, Devers has gone 25-for-84 (.298) with four homers, five doubles, 12 RBI and 17 runs scored in 23 starts.

Mon Aug 28 202312:01X-Rays Negative On Rafael Devers
X-rays came back negative on Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (wrist) on Sunday, and manager Alex Cora is hopeful that Devers will be able to play on Monday against the visiting Houston Astros. Devers was hit by a pitch on his right wrist on Saturday and was held out of the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. 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.

Sun Aug 27 202312:28Rafael Devers To Undergo X-Rays
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. The 26-year-old All-Star was hit by a pitch on Saturday. If X-rays come back negative, he could be right back in the lineup on Monday for the start of a series against the Houston Astros. Luis Urias is getting the start at the hot corner for Boston on Sunday and is hitting ninth in the lineup against Dodgers left-hander Caleb Ferguson. Devers is a must-start in fantasy when healthy, as he's clubbed 29 home runs and driven in 88 while batting .272 (128-for-471) on the year.

Sun Aug 27 202310:37Rafael Devers Scratched Late On Sunday
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (wrist) has been scratched from Sunday's lineup versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. 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.

Sat Aug 19 202310:34Rafael Devers In Familiar Spot Against Yankees
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is in Saturday's lineup batting second against the division-rival New York Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole. The 26-year-old went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's tilt for the series opener, so he's looking to build on that. While it appears to be a tough draw versus Cole, Devers and fantasy managers alike have to be looking forward to the matchup to some degree considering the history. In 42 career plate appearances terrorizing the Yankees ace, Devers is hitting .286 (10-for-35) with seven home runs, one double, and one walk for an otherworldly .914 SLG. The right-field short porch in the Bronx is always an added bonus for left-handed power hitters, perhaps solidifying Devers as one of Saturday's top plays at third base.

Thu Aug 17 202321:12Rafael Devers Smashes A Two-Run Homer In Red Sox's Loss
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers crushed his 27th home run of the season, losing to the Washington Nationals 10-7 on Thursday. Going into the seventh frame, the Red Sox were down 9-1. However, they would narrow the lead after second baseman Luis Urias hit a grand-slam to kick off the inning. Two batters later, Devers stepped up and smacked a two-run shot. Despite the rally, Boston still fell short. The 26-year-old Devers has only hit two home runs so far in August. Otherwise, he is having a solid season as he is slashing .262/.335/.844 with 81 RBI in 432 at-bats.

Sun Aug 13 202310:21Rafael Devers Sitting Out From Sunday’s Lineup
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is getting a day off on Sunday versus the Detroit Tigers. Luis Urias will cover third base and bat ninth in his absence. Devers hasn't missed a game in nearly a month, so he'll get a breather from the lineup for this one. The two-time All-Star has put together a very strong campaign, batting .263 with an .843 OPS, 26 home runs, 26 doubles, and 79 RBI in 419 at-bats. Expect Devers to return to the fold for the start of a three-game series on Tuesday against the Nationals in Washington.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 defeat to the Toronto Blue Jays. The 26-year-old hit a second-inning single before cranking a fourth-inning three-run blast to knot the game up at 3-3 at the time. Devers remains a fantasy stalwart at third base, batting .266 with an .855 OPS, 26 homers, 79 RBI, and 59 runs scored over 399 at-bats this campaign. The two-time All-Star should experience a boost in overall value upon Trevor Story's (elbow) looming arrival.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (calf) is back at third base and is hitting cleanup for Boston on Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics and left-hander Ken Waldichuk. Devers has missed the last couple of games with a minor calf injury, but he'll return to action on Wednesday and will have another day off on Thursday with the team traveling. The 26-year-old needs to be returned to all fantasy starting lineups now that he is back on the field. Devers will be trying to extend his modest hitting streak to six games on Wednesday, and he's been seeing the ball well in July with a .395 average (17-for-43) with four home runs, five doubles, 12 RBI, two stolen bases and nine runs scored in 48 trips to the plate over 11 games.

Justin Turner will take over at third base and hit third Monday night in Oakland.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers heads into the All-Star break with a solid half-season of production under his belt. Over 87 games, Devers hit .251 with 20 homers, 48 runs, 70 RBI, and two steals spanning 335 at-bats. While his batting average has been a bit lower than usual, Devers has been providing nice power numbers, with his 70 RBI good enough for third in the American League. He finished the first half on a hot streak, hitting .315 with three homers and 12 RBI over his past 15 games. Devers remains one of the brightest young hitters in fantasy heading into the second half.

Wed Jun 14 202314:28Rafael Devers Getting A Breather Wednesday
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against left-hander Austin Gomber and the Colorado Rockies. It's a rare day off for the superstar infielder as Devers has appeared in 65 of the club's 68 games to this point in the season, although he's enduring a down season by his lofty standards. The 26-year-old is hitting just .247 on the season, although he still has 17 home runs and an .811 OPS across 279 trips to the plate. However, Devers owns a career .279 BA and .850 OPS but the good news for fantasy managers is Devers' .375 xwOBA is well above his .339 wOBA to this point in the season. Justin Turner will man third base and hit second Wednesday night at Fenway Park.

Tue Jun 13 202323:39Rafael Devers Clubs Two Homers For Third Time This Year
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in a 7-6 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. The first homer was a Fenway Park special; the 26-year-old barely tucked a 311-foot fly ball inside the Pesky Pole in right field. Devers' second blast was a more resounding 410-footer in the 10th inning to keep the game close for Boston. He had a two-homer effort in April and another in May, so Devers owns a multi-HR outburst in each full month of play thus far. The former Silver Slugger's bat is starting to ignite with four long balls over his last five outings and he's now up to 17 round-trippers alongside 56 RBI this year.
