Rafael 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.

Rafael 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.

X-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.

Rafael 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.

Rafael 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.

Rafael 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.

Rafael 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.

Rafael 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.

Rafael Devers Crushes 26th Homer In Defeat

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.

Rafael Devers Returns Wednesday

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.

Rafael Devers To Sit Out On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (calf) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The left-handed slugger was held out of Monday's game as well due to calf tightness. The team hasn't placed him on the injured list, so it appears the organization is hopeful this is only a day-to-day issue. In the meantime, Justin Turner will cover third base and bat third versus right-hander Luis Medina.

Rafael Devers Dealing With Calf Injury

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (calf) is out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Oakland Athletics due to right-calf tightness. Devers is considered day-to-day for now. It doesn't sound like a serious injury for the 26-year-old, but fantasy managers will need to check back on Tuesday to see if he has returned to action. The two-time All-Star is a must-start whenever he's on the field, as he's hitting .261 (91-for-348) with 23 home runs, 22 doubles, 73 RBI and 53 runs scored in 90 games and 388 plate appearances for the BoSox this year. With Devers getting the day off on Monday to start a series against the A's, Justin Turner is starting at third base and batting third against A's right-hander Paul Blackburn.

Rafael Devers Sitting On Monday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Oakland Athletics and right-hander Paul Blackburn. The 26-year-old has come out of the All-Stat break white-hot, notching six hits including two doubles and three home runs across this past weekend's three-game set against the Chicago Cubs. It's been another productive season for Devers as he's hitting .261 with 23 home runs, 22 doubles, and an .853 OPS across 90 contests while his .383 xwOBA remains well above his current .359 wOBA. Justin Turner will take over at third base and hit third Monday night in Oakland.

Rafael Devers Sitting At 20 Home Runs At All-Star Break

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.
