Rafael Devers News
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.
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (knee) is officially in the club's starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Carlos Carrasco. It was reported on Tuesday that Devers would sit out one more game before returning as the team's designated hitter for Wednesday's contest. It's been a slow start at the plate for the 27-year-old who is hitting just .188 but his two homers, three doubles, and 15.5% BB% still has his production above the league average, as per his 105 wRC+. Devers last appeared in an April 17 game against the very same Guardians but reported knee discomfort the following day and was scratched from the starting lineup.
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora is giving third baseman Rafael Devers (knee) one more day to rest his knee on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians and said Devers will serve as the designated hitter on Wednesday. Devers was originally set to return to Tuesday's lineup, but the Red Sox are being cautious since he hasn't played since suffering a bone bruise on his left knee on April 17. Pablo Reyes is getting the start at third for Boston on Tuesday and is hitting ninth against Guardians right-hander Ben Lively. Reyes, 30, should be avoided in DFS, especially in the nine-hole for the Red Sox. The Dominican infielder has eight hits in 46 at-bats (.174 average) with no homers and four RBI this year. Reyes has hit eight home runs, drove in 53 and stolen 12 bases in his six years in the majors.

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.
