Rafael Devers has been at the center of attention regarding his future role with the Boston Red Sox after expressing reluctance to switch to first base following an injury to Triston Casas. Despite recent media controversies, Devers' performance has been stellar, batting .583 with a 1.560 OPS in a recent series against the Royals. His impactful play, including a game-winning home run, suggests the Red Sox may prefer to keep him as their designated hitter, further affirmed by manager Alex Cora's comments on his growth in the role.
Devers went 2-for-3 at the plate during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Royals - giving his team the lead for good after belting a 440-foot, two-run homer in the sixth inning that broke a 1-1 deadlock.
Cora praised Devers' performance stating, "He's very comfortable. Keeps growing and learning about (being the DH). Strength and conditioning, the trainers and the hitting group, they've done an amazing job supporting him."
