Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Breaking out of slump
Devers went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the White Sox.
Devers, who hit out of the second spot in the order behind Jarren Duran for a third consecutive game, doubled and scored a run as part of Boston's four-run first inning. That was a response to the White Sox taking a 2-0 lead in the top half of the frame. "We hit the ball hard," Red Sox manager Alex Cora told Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic following the game. "The two lefties (Duran and Devers), we're going to run with that from now on, it doesn't matter, I just feel comfortable with them." Devers had slumped (1-for-24) since a three-game absence due to discomfort in his shoulders, but he's gone 3-for-6 with two walks over the last two games after going hitless out of the two-hole Thursday.

Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Another hitless night
Devers batted second and went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.
Devers was moved up the batting order behind Jarren Duran with the hope he'd see more fastballs and emerge from a slump. The theory was sound, but it didn't work out. Devers drove in a run on a sacrifice fly -- his first RBI in seven games -- but went hitless for the fifth time in the last six contests (1-for-24, seven strikeouts).

Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Moving up order Wednesday
Devers will bat second in the order Wednesday, Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports.
Devers is slumping, and the Red Sox hope moving him up in the order, behind speedy leadoff batter Jarren Duran, will give him a lot of fastballs. Since returning from a three-game stint to rest his shoulders, Devers is 1-for-21 (.048) over five games.

Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Struggling since return
Devers went 0-for-4 in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Mets.
Devers worked through discomfort in his shoulders all season, and it may finally be taking its toll on him. Earlier in the season, rest served Devers well, but a three-game sabbatical at the end of Boston's recent homestand hasn't had a similar effect. He's 1-for-17 in four games since returning to the lineup.

Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Back Friday as expected
Devers (shoulder) is batting cleanup as the designated hitter Friday against the Tigers, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Soreness in both shoulders kept Devers out of the lineup for the past three games, but he's back in action for Friday's series opener, although without defensive responsibilities. The 27-year-old was given a rest in the midst of a 3-for-17 slump, and he has a .778 OPS across 22 games in August.

Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Return planned for Friday
Devers (shoulders) is expected to return to the lineup Friday, MLB.com reports. "Raffy should DH [Friday], DH [on] Saturday and play the field on Sunday," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday.
Devers had been playing through discomfort in both shoulders before sitting out the last three games. It's been a recurring issue since he first tweaked his left shoulder while swinging in a game during spring training. He also hurt his right shoulder in July while diving for a grounder during a game in Colorado. It hasn't impacted his performance at the plate though, and through 517 plate appearances he's posted a career-high .940 OPS with 28 homers and 80 RBI.

Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Managing shoulder soreness
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Devers isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays due to soreness in his shoulders, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The 27-year-old has been battling the issue throughout the summer, although Tuesday marks only his third time out of the starting nine since the start of June. Cora indicated Devers could be given multiple days to rest up, so he won't necessarily rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Toronto.
