Rafael Devers won’t debut at first base vs. Red Sox, Giants manager says

After Rafael Devers’s quotes during his Giants introductory press conference earlier this week, the reality of the ex-Red Sox star playing first base against Boston this weekend felt real.

“I’m here to play wherever they want me to play,” Devers told reporters in San Francisco on Tuesday.

Fortunately for Boston (in a defensive aspect, at least), its former slugger will be the Giants’ designated hitter for the three-game series between the teams in the Bay Area Friday-Sunday.

San Francisco’s manager Bob Melvin clarified this while speaking with KNBR’s “Murph and Markus” on Friday.
