A day after Triston Casas suffered a season-ending knee injury, Red Sox manager Alex Cora brushed aside talk of shifting DH Rafael Devers over to first base moving forward.
“From my end right now? No,” Cora told reporters Saturday of Devers moving to first. “We asked him [to become the DH] in spring training. In the beginning, he didn’t agree with it and now he’s very comfortable doing what he’s doing.”
Speaking again on Tuesday, Cora once again reaffirmed that the Red Sox don’t plan to ask Devers to return to the infield — even with the clear vacancy in place following Casas’ injury.
