RED Sox Reportedly Closing a $84.2 million contract Deal with Giant QB pending on…

Two of the Boston Red Sox’s games against the Seattle Mariners were lost due to Rafael Devers’ injury. His absence from the mostly ineffective batting order was greatly felt.
Because of strained shoulders, the third baseman was left out of the Sox vs. Mariners game on March 29. Just the day before, Devers had given Boston its first home run of the season, which only made Red Sox supporters more anxious when word leaked out about his injuries.

After Boston’s first game without Devers on March 29, manager Alex Cora clarified that Devers’s absence was just a precaution. The Sox felt it wasn’t worth the risk to play him because he was sore when he got at warm-ups and there is still a lot of baseball season remaining.

With five home runs in his scorching spring for the Red Sox, Devers is projected to have the largest presence at the plate, therefore it is not ideal for the franchise’s face to be out of the game at any point.

However, Devers was also forced to skip the game on March 30, and even after Cora’s remarks, anxiety was rising among Sox supporters. Prior to the season, Boston had a lengthy disabled list; however, some relief was provided by the return of Chris Martin and Kenley Jansen. However, the Red Sox would probably have a difficult start to the season if Devers were to go down with the IL, as backups Enmanuel Valdez, Bobby Dalbec, or Pablo Reyes would be forced to play every day in the infield.
