Red Sox's Cora Reconsiders Devers' Position Amid Injuries

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora initially ruled out discussing a move to first base with designated hitter Rafael Devers following Triston Casas' injury, but later softened his stance, suggesting the conversation could happen in the future if needed. While Abraham Toro and Romy Gonzalez are currently filling in at first base, speculation continues about Devers potentially shifting positions to address the team's lineup challenges. Cora emphasized Devers’ strong offensive production as DH and indicated he is currently comfortable with the arrangement, though he acknowledged circumstances could change. Devers himself has not publicly addressed the idea and has avoided media requests on the topic. The Red Sox's offseason moves, including the acquisition of Alex Bregman and the resulting infield reshuffle, have intensified scrutiny on how best to deploy their talent amid injuries and high expectations. For now, Cora and the team are taking a wait-and-see approach, prioritizing Devers’ comfort and performance as DH.
