2024 Fantasy Outlook
Terence Mann told us in Field of Dreams that the one constant through all the years is baseball. He was wrong; the one constant is Devers continues to rake in Boston whether they are in a boom year contending for a title or a bust year beginning another refresh cycle as the club was in 2023. Devers finished just inside the top 30 overall fantasy players in 2023 despite the lineup issues around him with the early injury to Duvall and the ups and downs of the the youngsters Casas and Duran. Devers continued his Saberhagenmetric cycle of 30 homer & 100+ RBI seasons in odd-numbered seasons but may have fallen into the trap of the new shifting rules. Devers had his highest pull percentage in five seasons and hit for his lowest full-season batting average since 2018. His StatCast measures are still extremely red, in a good way, nearly across the board as he enters the prime years for power hitters. Read Past Outlooks
Four hits vs. Orioles
Devers went 4-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
The four hits are a season high for Devers, while the triple was his first since 2022. The 27-year-old third-baseman had cooled off a bit following his six-game home-run streak, going 3-for-17 in his last five contests. Following Tuesday's effort, Devers is slashing .289/.380/.548 with 10 homers, 26 RBI and 28 runs scored through 192 plate appearances this season.

Stat Review
How does Rafael Devers compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
IL a possibility
The Red Sox are expected to place either Devers or Romy Gonzalez on the injured list to make room for Bobby Dalbec, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dalbec can't be recalled unless he's replacing an injured player, and Devers, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, and Gonzalez, who has a wrist issue, are the most obvious candidates. Cotillo writes that Gonzalez is seen as the likelier of the two players to go on the IL, but the club won't make a move until they see how each guy is feeling when they get to the ballpark Friday. Devers originally tweaked his left shoulder Opening Day and is expected to miss a second straight start Friday. Boston has seemed optimistic that he could avoid the IL, but it's possible it will opt to give him some down time.

Coming out of the break, Devers .324/.379/.602 was pacing for a career-best year. He then spent 10 days on the IL with a sore hamstring. After returning, Devers was unable to recapture form, posting a .248/.325/.383 line the rest of the way. Other than the 1.5-mph drop in fly-ball exit velocity, Devers' underlying skills weren't much different over the second half, but his BABIP dropped from .353 to .289. For the season, he still managed a career-best 140 wRC+, but a drop in homers and a less potent Red Sox lineup resulted in fewer than 90 runs and 90 RBI for Devers. He eclipsed the century mark in each of the prior two full seasons. His defense remained below average, but he showed signs of improvement. With Devers still just 26-year-old, his best season is probably yet to come. He doesn't run, but Devers crushes the rest of the categories. He may not be first-round material, but he's in the discussion.
