Boston Red Sox plan to slot Rafael Devers second in batting order

Rafael Devers makes his spring training debut on Friday batting in the No. 2 hole for the Boston Red Sox. That familiar spot in the lineup is where we should expect Devers to primarily appear throughout the season.

Ron Roenicke will toy with different lineup combinations in his first spring training as the Red Sox interim manager but the top of the order feels fairly secure based on what he told the media prior to Friday’s game, per WEEI’s Rob Bradford.

“You tinker with it. Second, certainly is a spot that it could be,” answered Roenicke when asked about Devers.
