Rafael Devers Returns Against Yankees
2 years agoBoston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back, hamstring) is back at third base and is hitting second in the lineup on Thursday against New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole. Devers sat out the last two games with a sore right hamstring and back tightness, but it was never considered serious, and he'll return to face the division rivals. Although it's a tough matchup against Cole, the 25-year-old is a must-start in fantasy, slashing a healthy .327/.383/.579 with a .962 OPS, 17 home runs, 46 RBI, 57 runs scored and two stolen bases on the season. He's hitting just .238 in 21 career at-bats against Cole, but Devers has also taken him deep four times and has driven in 10 runs against him.
