Red Sox Finalizes 2025 Batting Order with Bregman, Devers

As the Boston Red Sox approach the start of the 2025 season, manager Alex Cora has begun to solidify the batting order, revealing that Jarren Duran will leadoff, followed by Rafael Devers and newcomer Alex Bregman in the third spot. This arrangement aims to protect Devers by splitting left-handed hitters with Bregman's right-handed bat, while Triston Casas is expected to follow as the cleanup hitter. Devers is currently recovering from shoulder injuries and might start the season as the designated hitter, with Bregman taking over third base. Cora's flexibility with the lineup is enhanced by the roster changes, allowing for adjustments based on player performance and health. The team has just two weeks remaining before their season opener against the Texas Rangers on March 27. With injuries influencing decisions, Bregman is likely to be the starting third baseman, while the team navigates the ongoing recovery of other players like Masataka Yoshida.
