Red Sox reportedly not expecting Rafael Devers to play defense in 2025
It sounds like Rafael Devers will focus on playing DH the rest of the season. Red Sox place Liam Hendriks on 15-day injured list due to right hip inflammation
The Red Sox and Rafael Devers appear ready to move on from a tumultuous first few months of the season off the field.
After hesitantly giving up third base to make room for Alex Bregman in March and publicly refusing to play first base in wake of Triston Casas’s knee injury, Boston reportedly doesn’t expect Devers to play defense in any capacity for the team this season, according to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam.
