Red Sox infielder Rafael Devers launches his first homer of spring training

Spring training is in full gear and the team is beginning to gel and we’re seeing guys get into the pre-season groove. Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers was late to camp as he was expecting the birth of his daughter, but he’s getting warmed up now.

It looked as if the infielder may get off to a slow start after getting roasted by Eduardo Rodriguez in batting practice, but that all changed today. During this afternoon’s game against the Braves, Raffy stepped to the plate with Michael Chavis on second and launched a ball over the centerfield wall, his first homer of spring training.
