Following Triston Casas' season-ending knee injury, Red Sox manager Alex Cora reassured that Rafael Devers will continue to serve as the designated hitter rather than shift to first base. Cora noted that Devers, initially resistant to becoming a DH, has since grown comfortable in that role. The team is focused on utilizing current options like Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro to fill the first base position, with no intention of moving Devers back to infield duties and exploring other lineup options moving forward.
"From my end right now? No. We asked him [to become the DH] in spring training. In the beginning, he didn't agree with it and now he's very comfortable doing what he's doing."
"We're staying the course. We got these two guys here. Romy has done an amazing job in his starts over there. We'll keep going that way."
