Rafael Devers' transition to full-time designated hitter for the Boston Red Sox has not started ideally, with an 0-for-8 showing and seven strikeouts in his first two games of the 2025 season. Although he had previously expressed objections to the role, Devers claimed that such feelings are now in the past, emphasizing his focus on the current season. Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed that Devers would not play third base during this transitional period. Devers plans to consult former Red Sox hitters like David Ortiz and J.D. Martinez for advice.
Devers is adjusting to his new role as a designated hitter but has struggled early on, going hitless in his first two games and facing high strikeout rates.
Despite initial objections to becoming a full-time DH, Rafael Devers insists those feelings are behind him, focusing on his performance after starting the 2025 season cold.
