The Red Sox moved a reticent Devers from third base to designated hitter after they signed Alex Bregman, who’s now on the injured list. Then in May they asked Devers to fill in at first base when they lost Triston Casas to season-ending surgery. But Devers did not budge: He will only be Boston’s DH.

Rafael Devers is a homegrown Boston Red Sox superstar, a player who has consistently delivered for the BoSox since 2017 as a star in MVP conversations at times. He deservedly got a 10-year, $313.5 million contract back in 2023 and continues to be terrific on a American League contender this year.

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr., who suffered a right oblique strain in April, made it clear that he was back in a big way after hitting a go-ahead home run during his first game back from injury.
