Rafael Devers is making a significant transition from third base to designated hitter (DH) for the Boston Red Sox. The move coincides with the signing of Alex Bregman as the new everyday third baseman. Red Sox manager Alex Cora has confirmed their commitment to maintaining Devers in a DH capacity, while Romy Gonzalez will cover third base when needed. Devers has struggled initially at the plate, possibly due to shoulder inflammation issues that limited his preseason games. Overall, the team is focusing on easing Devers into this new role.
"Raffy is going to DH," Cora said. "We had a conversation, we talked about it. He's DHing. He's the DH of the Boston Red Sox. One thing is we don't want him to overthink it."
