Rafael Devers has been the Boston Red Sox's designated hitter all season after a fairly notable discussion during spring training about who would be the starting third baseman. Devers, who was the team's regular third baseman when healthy over the last six seasons, was replaced by Alex Bregman.
While that wasn't the outcome that Devers originally wanted, it has not affected him at the plate where he's leading the American League in RBI and walks while maintaining the 10th best OPS in baseball coming into Sunday's game against the New York Yankees.
