The Rafael Devers injury magnifies the team’s need for infield help

Late last night as Alex Cora met with the media after his team came away with a victory over the Twins, the manager revealed that Rafael Devers looked like he was heading to the disabled list with a hamstring injury. We talked about it a little in the linked post, but this certainly is not great news despite the inconsistency (to put it nicely) shown by Devers this year. The Red Sox don’t possess the greatest of infield depth in the upper minors, and the loss of Devers makes the lineup a little shallower with a lot less upside on any given day.
